Finish Thompson CQC2 - Manual (Page 10)

10
The CQC2 shipped with two spare impellers. Keep these in a known location for future use.
•
Do not let the pump run dry for more than 20 seconds. Damage to the flexible impeller can occur if run dry for
a longer period.
•
Do not suck up undiluted “muck” from the radiator overflow bottle. Use a hose to loosen and dilute the “muck”
with water first.
•
Do not allow the operator to leave the machine unattended during the process.
•
Vehicles with pressurized overflow bottles hook up the same way as non-pressurized designs.
•
If you notice steam coming out of the 15 gallon drum during the process and no new coolant is flowing in, turn
the vehicle off and leave both the fill valve and the drain valves open. Wait a few minutes until the level in the
fill bucket starts to drop, then start the vehicle and complete the process normally.
•
Inlet thermostat designs (where the thermostat is located before the water pump) can cause the process to
take longer than normal. On inlet thermostat designs, use hot water/antifreeze in the fill bucket if possible.
This can help to keep the thermostat open and speed up the process.
CAUTION: Do not allow the liquid temperature in the fill bucket to exceed 130 o F(55 o C).
•
If the process is not working, the vehicle may have a defective thermostat. Abort the process. Remove and
test the thermostat or refer the customer to a service facility capable of thermostat replacements.
•
If the vehicle has coolant bleed screws, bleed any air that is potentially trapped after the coolant exchange is
complete.
•
If the machine is not going to be used for an extended period (more than a couple of weeks), lubricate the
pump impeller with petroleum jelly before storing.
HELPFUL HINTS
5. Push the impeller onto the motor shaft and at the same time twist in a clockwise direction. This will bend the
blades in the direction for proper operation.
6. Replace the pump’s cover using a new gasket, tightening all screws evenly and snugly. Do not over tighten the
screws. Replace the rear panel on the CQC2.
