EMPTYING THE WASTE TANK

 

The Waste Tank can be emptied two different ways 

A.

 

The Waste Tank can be removed from the MCX-1 and transported to the area where it is to 

be emptied. A quick connect coupler is installed on the black hose to make this 
disconnection quick and clean. 

B.

 

The MCX-1 can be used to pump the waste coolant directly from the Waste Tank into 

another waste collection tank. A 12 volt battery will be required to power the MCX-1. 

 

1.

 

Install the Wand on the black hose. 

2.

 

Turn control valve to EMPTY WASTE TANK. 

3.

 

Press the top of the EMPTY WASTE TANK selector switch to start the pump. 

4.

 

Hold the Wand over the Bulk Waste Container and open the valve. 

5.

 

Waste coolant will be pumped directly from the MCX-1 Waste Tank into the Bulk Waste 

Container. 

6.

 

The Waste Tank will empty and the pump will shut off.    A float switch in the Waste Tank 

controls this function. 

7.

 

Close the valve on the Wand immediately after waste tank is emptied. 

8.

 

Press bottom of the EMPTY WASTE TANK selector switch to stop the pump. 

Note: The Waste Tank has a float switch which detects when the tank is empty and shuts 

off the waste pump.
