To properly flush a hydraulic component using the FLO DYNAMICS TTCF-9B Variable High Flow Heated Hydraulic Component Flusher, follow these steps:
1. Fill the tank with 10 gallons of hydraulic fluid or until the fluid level is halfway in the sight glass. Do not overfill the tank.
2. Plug the machine into a 20A grounded circuit or two separate and dedicated 15A outlets.
3. Connect the flusher to 100-125 PSI shop air.
4. Move the reverser valve to the bypass (middle) position.
5. Prior to starting the preheat, secure the fill cap, secure the filter screen, check the fluid level, check all connections, and ensure the reverser valve is in the bypass (middle) position.
6. Turn the heater and pump ON to begin heating the flusher while connecting the service hoses to the component or system being flushed.
7. Connect the red banded service hose to the component or cooler outlet line and the black service hose to the inlet line of the component or cooling system.
8. Once the unit reaches 135-140 degrees, perform the initial purge of the component or cooling system. To do this, turn the motor/pump OFF, remove the top half of the filter housing and place it into a waste bucket/container. Move the reverser valve toward the red banded hose. Turn the pump ON and purge approximately 1-2 quarts of fluid or until cleaner fluid is observed. Turn the motor/pump OFF, clean the screen filter if needed, and reassemble the filter housing.
9. Set up a flush by moving the reverser valve toward the red banded hose connected to the component or cooler system outlet. Select the desired air agitation flush pattern by pressing the Air Agitate button.
10. Prior to starting the flush, secure the fill cap, secure the filter screen, check the fluid level, and check all connections. Turn the motor/pump and heater ON to begin flushing for the suggested initial duration of 15 minutes.
11. After the initial 15-minute flush is completed, turn the pump OFF. Press the manual air purge button to clear out the lines. Remove the top half of the filter housing, clean the screen, and reassemble the filter housing.
12. Continue flushing, switching the flow direction between each flush using the reverser valve until there is no debris on the filter screen after flushing. Depending on the debris collected, it is suggested to flush for 30-60 minutes until cleanliness is achieved.
13. Once system cleanliness is achieved, to disconnect the flusher from the cleaned system, use the manual air purge button to clean out the cooling system and service lines with the reverser valve in either flow direction, then place it in the bypass (middle) position. Remove the service hoses from the system being cleaned and install service line plugs. Clean the filter screen and reassemble for the next cleaning.
14. Finally, unplug the flusher and disconnect the shop air.
