Start Up Procedures

If the cylinder is turning in reverse,
TURN OFF ALL POWER

switch any two of the incoming power leads to the motor. Jog motor again to insure proper
rotation.
Repeat this procedure with the flock drive and booster pump.
The second step is to test the spray wash header for proper operation and spray pattern.
(See page 4-1B.)
After the spray header has been tested, the ThickTech unit can be run to verify proper
mechanical operation. If there are no problems with the mechanical operations of the
machine, it is ready to accept the influent flow.

questions, be sure to contact your Parkson Hycor
