or bucket, fill tank with 57 l (15 gal) of hot water,
60
°
C (140
°
F) maximum (Figure 1).

(turn knob counterclockwise) then turn pump
switch on. As pump runs, air bubbles should
dissipate in solution (Figure 3).
d. Close pressure control valve completely by
turning knob clockwise and allow pump to
continue running.
e. Now attach accessory tool. If properly primed,
pressure should read 15.65-17.22 bar
