The burst test system should be shut down at the end of each work day to assure
that the pump will not run unnecessarily or run dry. Shut off the main pressure,
power and air supply to the console.
If the system will be stored in an area with below freezing temperatures, the
system must be completely drained. All lines must be blown out with air for
complete drainage. See “System Drainage for Long Term Storage” on page 30.
