open. Start the unit by pushing either the “CONSTANT RUN” button or one of the “AUTO” buttons. Since

manual water inlet valves wide open. Start the unit by pushing either the “CONSTANT RUN” button or
one of the “AUTO” buttons.
DAILY CHECK - Refer to Section 8, “Maintenance Schedule,” page 72.
STOPPING THE UNIT - Press “STOP-RESET” button. The oil reservoir will automatically blow down as
the motor stops. If the unit is a water-cooled heat exchanger type, close any manual water inlet valves.
