Place the pump tube in the water. Switch on the mains switch on the SD-06 and then switch on the fan, compressor and the heater using the appropriate screen and green ‘START’ button. Note: The heater will not operate unless the blower is running. There is a delay on start up before the heater switches on. - Page 12 GENERAL ADVICE AND USEFUL HINTS Always start a trial with a low to medium inlet temperature (150-180°C), maximum air-flow, and a slow pump rate. Observe the bottom of the main chamber for wetting and either reduce the pumping rate or increase the temperature if the product is not completely drying. optimum pumping/temperature rates are achieved when no wet spotting of the product is observed (this assumes water as the solvent).
