At this stage the flow rate may be adjusted freely between minimum and maximum settings. (Upon entering a ‘ready to operate’ phase the maximum allowable flow rate will be automatically adjusted based on the energy available.
  • Page 8 The machine may now be operated fully as desired with due attention to all prevailing safety regulations. Note: FLUID REPLACEMENT Replacing fluid does not require any attention to ‘priming’ conditions. The G300 uses a unique system of fluid pumping which allows fluid system replenishment without requiring special settings of flow control. ‘HAZE’ FLOW CONTROL Note: The machine will change the characteristics of the ‘Flow Rate’...
