1)
When oil reaches 250º F., rotate knob (A) counterclockwise and observe pressure
gauge (B). If the gauge jumps to 1000-1200 psi and remains there with no fluctuation,
the agitator is not turning. The oil is going over the relief valve setting. Place knob into
neutral position and wait until sufficient melting occurs. (On Model 225, gauge will vary
between 750 - 850 PSI).
