2. Close Valve A.
3. Connect a suitable hose barb and hose to the fluid outlet at Valve E. An oil rated inline pump
may be needed.
4. When all connections are made and secured open Valve E and then Valve A. Fluid will flow
into the pump.
5. Energize the pump and pump the oil out of the ironer and into your containers.
6. Remember that these containers will become very heavy so make provisions for getting them
on a barrel truck of some type - think ahead!
7. When no more oil can be pumped out, remove the inline pump from the drain line and
connect the ends together. Leave the open hose end in your barrel or container.
8. Close valves A and B.
9. Install a connector for a compressed air line to the bleed port at Valve D and open the valve.
10. Connect 40 psi clean and very dry compressed air supply to this port at Valve D.
11. Double check your connections. You will blow compressed air into the bleed port, this will
push most of the oil out of the boiler coils, back through the pump, and out of the drain.
12. Disconnect the air line, close valves D and E, open valves A, B, and C.
5.9 Quarterly Safety System Test
Understanding and regularly testing the safety functions of the ironer is critical to continued safe
operation and recognition of potential hazards before they result in accidents. The following sec-
tions are intended to be used in conjunction with the IM-Thermal Safety Check List worksheet,
shown in tables 5.7 and 5.8.
