Maintenance
To ensure proper machine operation all of the below maintenance must be carried out.
•
Daily:
Check the ATF level daily by removing the fill cap/grey tower and making sure
the ATF stays 3-4” from the top of the fill neck. Do not overfill.
•
Monthly:
It is essential that the spin-on filters be replaced at least once a month (or more
with high-volume use) to ensure maximum cleaning effectiveness of the flusher.
If you have the silver dual-filter mount, you will use two (2) NBP (Non By Pass
Magnetic Filters) on your flusher.
•
Quarterly:
Also essential to the effectiveness of your flusher is to drain and change the ATF
in the flusher tank every three months or when the fluid becomes dark. ATF
must be cold at the time of fluid change. Take the pressure hose, snap the test
coupling into the quick-disconnect in the end of the hose, and secure this end
into an EPA-approved waste disposal container. Then cycle on the motor of the
flusher and let it pump empty. Clean out the sludge in the bottom of the tank by
using the flusher’s drain plug. After cleaning, refill the tank with 8-9 gallons of
clean ATF and as a option you can add one (11 oz.) bottle of transmission flush.
Troubleshooting
Always unplug the flusher before any troubleshooting.
Problem:
No Heat/Red Light On
Solution:
1. Make sure the fluid level is above the float switch or 3-4” from the top of the fill neck.
2. If you still have no heat, test for 110 V at the heater.
3. If the heater is not getting power, check continuity at the float switch.
4. If float switch shows continuity, call G-Tec.
Problem:
Pump/Motor Not Working/Overheating
Solution:
1.
Make sure the flusher is plugged into a 110 V (20amp) outlet with NOTHING else plugged
into it.
2. Make sure flusher is not plugged into a drop light, extension cord, etc.
3. Make sure the white cap on the fill hole (for Basic & Deluxe flushers) has a hole in it or the
grey vent tower (for the 7AR Supreme flusher) is in place.
4. Heater must be at 150-160° before engaging motor (otherwise ATF is too thick).
5. Carefully remove motor face plate, check that all wires are plugged into terminals tightly,
and replace face plate.
6. Run a volt check on motor. If no power, call G-Tec.
ATTENTION
During the draining and filling process, make sure the heater toggle is turned off.
