ATS startup
Where used
ATS 2200 and ATS 4400
For ATS startup, do the following:
1. Check the air supply hose fitting for dirt and/or garnet prior to attaching the air hose to the
diaphragm pump.
2. Make sure that all fittings are secure on the top of the VacBOX and are tightened down.
◦ Check to ensure that the 2 inch poly dewatering cap is secure.
◦ Ensure hydraulic pump is set to the close position and tie rod cylinder is pushing down on
the lid (i.e. hydraulic pump handle meets firm resistance when pumped).
◦ Snug both lock bolts.
3. Place the suction nozzle assembly into the catcher tank or slurry pit. Make sure that the suction
nozzle is below the surface of the water but does not settle into the garnet or mud in the
catcher tank. If you do not have enough water in the catcher tank to pre-charge the VacBOX,
use a water hose to fill the machine before you begin to remove the garnet.
4. Open the air valve slightly on the supply side of the diaphragm pump. Ideal operating speed is
approximately 100–116 strokes per minute. This will give you approximately 50 gpm.
You must run the pump on a slow stroke. Periodically, you may have to make slight
adjustments to the air regulator to keep the pump operating at the most efficient speed.
5. Once the pump has been activated, air will begin to purge from the machine and bubbles will
be visible in the catcher tank or slurry pit. Once the machine is full of water, it is "pre-charged."
Air bubbles should no longer be visible and now it is okay to remove the garnet by lowering the
nozzle assembly into the heavy sediment.
