End of day tasks

NOTE: Store the equipment in a suitable
location to prevent freezing. If the equipment
is to be left where freezing may occur, cover
the pump with a material bag and empty
pump of all water by removing the bung in the
bottom of the pump. Make sure any ice has
thawed before using. Open all ball valves to
prevent cracking of the ball valve housing by
ice.

Drain the main tank

CAUTION:
• The main tank-drain is to be used solely
for draining. Do not fill through the main
tank-drain line.
• If this unit has been used with chemicals
be careful where the drainage from the
tank is being deposited as it may contain
chemical residue.
The main tank should be drained through the
main tank-drain ball valve. This line drains
from the bottom elbow in the tank and almost
all the tank liquid will drain through this line.
To drain, open the main tank-drain ball valve.
When finished draining, make sure the main
tank-drain ball valve is closed.
The batchmate has two drain valves, the first
one will drain the majority of the liquid from
the tank and plumbing, the other drain valve
is located at the base of the poly pump. Note
when the pump is drained it will need to be
re-primed before use.
Please ensure both drain taps are turned off
and system is primed before operating the
batchmate.
