Cleaning the Pump Cycle Counter

Sometimes the PCC does not count due to either the magnet shuttle or the spring hanging up
inside the magnet housing. The counter components can be cleaned by gently washing the
unit in warm water. A soft brush may be used to remove debris. To clean the inside, follow
these instructions: (See Figure 36)
Note:
As a precaution, mark and/or measure with a pencil, the set distance (See
Figure 36) so that it can be reset in the same position should movement
occur. Do not loosen the thumb screw
(item #3) since movement of the Display Assembly is unnecessary for
cleaning.
