Processor Checkout
Following set up, inspect the processor as described below to make sure it is ready for use.
WARNING: During this inspection, be sure that the processor power is disconnected at the
wall plug.
Inspect and clean the processor tanks, racks and hoses as described below:
1) Open the drain valves on the front of the processor for the developer, fixer and wash
tanks. Use warm water to rinse each tank clear of dust and debris. Close all drain valves.
2) Shine a light through all hoses to check for foreign matter. To remove anything, discon-
nect hose at one end, flush with water, and reconnect.
3) Check, and tighten if necessary, loose hose clamps and/or hardware on the processor.
4) Check that processor is level from front-to-rear and side-to-side. Correct as necessary.
Operational Checkout
Read these instructions completely before starting the processor.
WARNING: Never operate the processor without an electrical ground connection.
1) Close the tank drain valves.
2) If not already done, remove the three racks and set aside.
3) Carefully pour about 1.5 gallons of warm water into each of the solution tanks. Do Not
attempt to fill the tank to the overflow.
Attention:
When testing or operating the processor with water (as opposed to chemistry), there will be
a LOW LEVEL condition in effect which will disable the solution heater. This is due to the
fact that water by itself cannot conduct well enough. To prevent this, add 1-2 tablespoons
of salt or a cup of used or fresh developer to the developer tank
4) Install all three racks in their appropriate tanks.
5) With the Power Switch OFF, plug in the power cord.
