3. Once there is power to the machine, start setting up at least one hose or all 5
hoses to get circulation established. Use the power out function of the hose reel to
aid in pulling the hose off of the hose reel. There are switches for the hose reel op-
eration on the control panel. Look inside the back doors to your right to find the hose
reel control switches. These 2 switches control the hose reel operation. Select hose
out and press the foot switch and the hose reel will begin to unwind the hose. Alter-
natively the hose can be freewheeled by removing the reel lock pin and releasing
the belt tension with the tensioner knob.Remember each hose is 600 feet in length
and each end of a 600 foot hose needs to be connected to a supply and return dis-
connect on the manifold. After connecting both ends of a 600 foot hose to the mani-
fold, open the ball valves for the disconnect that the hose is connected to. Below are
pictures of the switches for the hose reel and an example of a hose connected to the
manifold.
4. After connecting a hose or hoses to the manifold, the ball valves inside the pas-
senger’s side door need to be opened. There are 3 flange style ball valves that need
to be open. Also make sure to open the yellow handled ball valve on the gray ex-
pansion tank if it is not already open. Next establish circulation by turning the main
power switch to the on position. There is a sight flow indicator inside the passenger’s
side door. The sight flow indicator is to the left as you look in the door and down
by the floor of the trailer. The impeller wheel should spin when flow is established.
Also, there are two automatic air bleeders that need to be opened. The automatic air
bleeders are made out of brass. One automatic air bleeder is located on the return
manifoldan the other automatic air bleeder is inside the passenger’s side door on top
of the furnace by the stove pipe.

Also make sure to open the yellow handled ball valve on the gray expansion tank if it is
not already open. Next establish circulation by turning the switch on the control panel
to cool down mode. There is a sight flow indicator inside the passenger’s side door. The
sight flow indicator is to the left as you look in the door and down by the floor of the
trailer. The impeller wheel should spin when flow is established. Also, there are two
automatic air bleeders that need to be opened. The automatic air bleeders are made
out of brass. They are round, about 2” tall and about 1 ¾’ in diameter with a little cap on
the top of them. One automatic air bleeder is located on the return manifold. Look in
the back doors at the right hand side of the manifold for this automatic air bleeder.
Once you locate it just loosen the cap a turn or so with your fingers. The other
automatic air bleeder is inside the passenger’s side door on top of the furnace by the
stove pipe. The water jacket of the furnace has an internal air scoop built in and this
automatic air bleeder is plumbed into that internal air scoop to evacuate air out of the
system. Open this one up also. Below are pictures of the valves to be opened and the
sight flow indicator, 2 automatic air bleeders and the switch in cool down mode.
