TION

Flushing Operations

Set all of the valves and levers to their proper posi-

tions for flushing.

Turn the “Rotary Actuator” to the “Load/Suckback”

position.

Ensure that the suction valve is closed.

Open the self-flushing valve and run the pump at

approximately 100 GPM.

After 2 minutes, close the self flush valve.

Normally the suckback procedure will remove suf-

ficient material from the circulating system to negate
the need for draining the circulating system and spray
bar before proceeding with the wash out operation. The
flushing operation requires only 3 quarts of flushing
solvent. This small amount is not sufficient to fill the
lines to the tank, thus preventing solvent from being
forced into the tank.

A common practice following completion of the

flushing procedure and subsequent shutdown is to pour
1 to 2 quarts of solvent into the fill line. This softens or
dissolves the residual asphalt in the pump. Allow these
solvents to remain in the system until the next use.

If unit has electric washdown option, open flush

valve and turn on electric pump for 2 minutes. This
will pump 2 quarts of diesel fuel on top of the asphalt
pump.
