4. Start and run the feed pump until anti-
freeze begins to come out of the brine dis-
charge hose.
5. Stop the feed pump. Connect the brine
service hose to the brine outlet on the Versa
Sea Pak case and place it in the bucket.
6. Start the Feed pump and circulate the
remaining antifreeze for a few minutes until well mixed.
7. Stop the feed pump and discard any antifreeze remaining in the bucket.
8. Blow out or drain the product tubing, as it will not contain antifreeze.
9.
Leave the pressure relief valve open.
Clean Up
Remove the prefilter from its housing and replace with a clean dry filter element.
Rinse and dry the inside of the Versa Sea Pak case to prevent corrosion. Do not get the Feed
pump motor wet.
Remove and drain the service hoses and stow them away in the case. Insert the hose connec-
tion plugs in the hose fittings.
Charge or remove the battery for storage.
