This section is designed to be used for machines that need to be inspected & tested in order to verify proper operation before placing the machine in a shop.
Machine walk around and inspection
1. Check the machine skin for broken or cracked areas.
2. Check for missing/damaged parts
3. Check the power cord
a. Stiff or frayed
b. Clamp marks on the power cord
c. Make sure the power cord clamps are attached properly and work as they should.
4. Check the service hoses
a. Make sure they are not cracked or worn
b. Make sure the quick connects are working properly
c. Make sure the red band is on the service hose
5. Check the drawer
a. Make sure it is not busted, slides properly, and the lock works.
b. Make sure the drawer insert is in place.
c. Install the loose adaptors in the drawer insert, take inventory of missing adaptors.
6. Check to make sure the fluid tanks are present.
7. Verify all 4 casters are in good working condition.
Machine operation check
1. Verify the complaint if the machine came back from the field with an issue.
2. Turn the machine on, check both lower right and left corners on the screen to make sure the numbers are the same, this is the software the machine is currently using.
Note: decimal point does not matter. If a newer version of the software is available, update the machine before proceeding.
3. Touch the gear icon that takes you into a diagnostic screen
4. Touch the scale icon to look at the tank sensors, they should read approximately the amount of fluid each tank has in it.
a. Now you will want to calibrate the scales, follow the procedure below.
When on the tank sensor screen locate the greyed out T1 and T2 buttons at the bottom middle of the screen.
Touch the T1 and T2 buttons and they will turn green, once they have turned green exit the screen by pressing the home button on the lower left.
Now empty each tank and let the pump run until it shuts itself off. Note: if you shut the pump off early it will not calibrate the scales.
Touch the gear on the screen, locate and touch the scale button, look at the tank sensors, if the scales are properly calibrated you will see a -0.6 for both readings. Also you will see the T1 and T2 buttons at the bottom of the screen will be grey.
5. Checking the motor and pump operation
Note: you will need an oil drain and open ended hose on the red banded service line to perform this check.
From the start up menu touch the gear icon, this takes you into the diagnostic menu.
Touch the heart beat icon, Password 76543210 press enter, a screen with values should appear.
Locate the M1F/R and M2F/R and the “S” button on the screen.
Note: you need to have your open ended hose attached to the red banded service line and inserted into an oil drain.
Testing the new fluid motor:
Press and hold M1F this should be running the new fluid motor and moving new fluid out of the service hose.
Press and hold M1R this should be running the new fluid motor and making a gurgle sound from the additive funnel.
Testing the used fluid motor:
Press and hold M2F, this should be running the used fluid motor and bringing fluid into the used fluid tank.
Press and hold M2R, the “S” or “BPS” button should light up and this should be running the used fluid motor, there should be used fluid coming out of the red banded service hose.
