Connect the drain of the CIP tank/tanks to a suitable barrel.
Open the valve V07 on the tank together with drain valve V06 (and V14 for CIP

Close all valves after the draining.

At the CIP unit, disconnect the hose that is fitted to the lower connection on the

Open valve V05 and V02 to let air in.
