Daily Start Up
The daily start up procedure is as follows:
Processor ON,
Fill Wash Tank
1) Close the wash tank drain valve.
2) Switch the Power Switch to the ON position. The processor will start in the process
mode and run for approximately 5 minutes, filling the wash tank. If, at the end of the
process cycle, the wash water has not reached the overflow port, trip the Manual Re-
plenishment switch to initiate another processing cycle.
3) Allow the developer to warm up to operating temperature (Dev Temp light will
cycle OFF). Check for leaks around all hose fittings.
Caution: Always inspect to see that all drain tubes are properly positioned and draining
correctly. All drain tubes must be routed in a continuously downward direction, with-
out dips or loops that can cause airlocks.
Caution: A kink or twist in a drain tube can cause a serious chemical or water spill in
the processor.
Check Developer
and Fixer Levels
If not previously done, check the developer and fix tanks to see that they contain ad-
equate solution. Prepare fresh replenisher if necessary and using the Manual Replen-
ishment switch, top off each tank with chemistry to the overflow port.
Check Drive
With the Power Switch in the ON position, check all turning drive gears to see that they
mesh properly and turn without binding. Make sure the transport rollers are turning
freely, without interference or binding.
