pressure gauge(s) reads zero prior to loosening the vessel closure bolts.
2.15.1.
With the three-Separator arrangement, collection and servicing can be done on a
Separator during an extraction cycle. This can be accomplished at the end of Phase
1 or any time by manually switching between Separators on the “Manual Screen.”
2.15.2.
Be sure to follow the instructions below as they are different from removing oil after a
run.
2.15.3.
Verify that Separator Vessel gauge and the Separator pressure on the Home Screen
read zero and that Valve 10A or Valve 10B are open, depending on which Separator
is being cleaned (A for Separator #1 and B for Separator #2).
WARNING
OPERATOR NEEDS TO VERIFY THAT THERE IS NO PRESSURE IN THE LINES BETWEEN THE
EXTRACTORS AND SEPARATORS BEFORE REMOVING THE HOSES. The operator can check
the pressure on the gauge immediately under the left side of the Main Control Enclosure (MCE).
