OPERATING PROCEDURE
NOTE: To prevent overfilling, if the used fluid tank becomes too full the system will disable the
“DRAIN” button on the pendant, an audible alarm will sound, and the “Used Fluid Tank Full” LED
will light up. At this point the “FILL” button on the pendant will remain active, but the “DRAIN”
button is disabled.
1.
Ensure the vehicle’s battery terminals are free of any corrosion.
2.
Attach the PSX3000’s battery clips to the vehicle’s battery terminals.
3.
Activate pendant service mode by pulling the knob on the machine’s control panel. The
pendant service mode
LED will light up.
4.
Remove cap from vehicle’s power steering fluid reservoir (and screen if applicable)
5.
With the vehicle’s engine running, place hoses (same length) into power steering fluid
reservoir. You may use the included dock magnet to hold the hoses in place.
6.
Turn the ball valves to the “on” position on both hoses.
7.
While watching the fluid level in the reservoir, use the “DRAIN” and “ADD” buttons on the
remote pendant to repeatedly drain and add fluid. Repeated purging and adding of fluid
will flush the old fluid out of the reservoir.
8.
Turn the vehicle’s steering wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right, and
back to center.
9.
Check the color of the fluid in the reservoir to ensure a clean exchange. Repeat steps 7
& 8 if necessary.
10.
When finished, adjust fluid level, turn the ball valves to the “off” position on both hoses,
and remove hoses from power steering fluid reservoir.
11.
Turn off vehicle’s engine, and replace reservoir cap and screen (if applicable).
DRAIN USED FLUID TANK
1.
The “Used Fluid Tank Full” LED will light up when the used fluid tank is full.
2.
Make sure the PSX3000’s battery clips are connected to the vehicle’s battery terminals.
3.
Attach an open adapter to the black service hose.
4.
Push the control panel knob all the way in to begin draining tanks. The machine will stop
automatically once the tank is fully drained.
5.
To reset the machine for another exchange, pull the knob back out to “Pendant Service
Mode”.
