TransFlow Self-Test

Important: Whenever a cooler fails the flow 

test, disconnect from the cooler lines and run 

the self-test procedure to verify flow is 2.0 gpm 

or greater.  If less than 2.0 gpm, ensure the shop 

air supply maintains a minimum of 90 PSI when 

connected to the tester. The entire self-test should 

take no more than one to two minutes to com-

plete. For additional information, refer to "Use-

ful Information/Helpful Hints" in this manual. 
1.   Remove the fill port cap. 

2.   Add two gallons of Dexron VI

®

 ATF,  

  or equivalent, to the supply vessel through  

  the fill port. See Figure 1.

Caution: Do not overfill the supply vessel. 

Damage to the unit may result. To verify the fluid 

level, view the LCD screen display while filling 

the unit to ensure that the fluid level does not 

exceed 32 US quarts.
Note: If the Self-Test has already been carried 

out, verify the fluid level by viewing the LCD 

screen display. See Figure 2.

Figure 1

  3. Connect an air hose from your compressed 

air supply to the quick-disconnect on the rear 

panel marked SUPPLY AIR. See Figure 3.

Note: Using an accurate pressure gauge, ensure 

there is a minimum 90 psi of Supply Air at the 

quick-disconnect.

  2. Verify that the main function switch is in the 

IDLE position. Place the main power switch 

(see Control Panel graphic on page 4

 

for its 

location) in the ON position, and wait for the 

IDLE screen to initialize. See Figure 2.
