Operating Procedures
Operation
Draining the Reservoir to an External Location
Procedure: 1. Connect a hose between the connector on the lower side of the Fluid
Direction valve (rear side of control panel) and the external fluid container.
2. Set the Fluid Direction valve to position B. Confining fluid in the fluid
reservoir will flow into the container by means of gravity.
