Storing the BE unit:
 PREPARE THE COOLING SYSTEM - Drain and clean the Pump Reservoir per the instructions in
the “Maintenance Schedule” section of this manual. Re-fill the Pump Reservoir with a 50/50 mix of
water and new antifreeze or recycled antifreeze that contains reinhibitor. This will help to
protect the radiator and piping from corrosion (the antifreeze will be circulated through the cooling
system during the next step). Replace the cover to the Pump Reservoir.
 CLEAN THE PROCESS TANK - Drain all residues. Perform a “detergent flush” of the Process
Tank per the instructions in the “Maintenance Schedule” section of this manual.
 DISCONNECT POWER - Turn off the electrical power (at the main circuit breaker) for the BE unit.
If other equipment is connected to the same circuit, disconnect the wiring to the BE unit.
Before restarting after storage:
 RECONNECT POWER - Return the electrical power supply to the BE unit.
 HEAT EXCHANGER - Clean the finned-tube surfaces of the heat-exchangers by carefully blowing
compressed air through the fins from the outside to the inside.
 PREPARE THE COOLING SYSTEM - Drain the antifreeze from the Pump Reservoir. Refill the
reservoir with Pump Primer, Recycled Glycol, or clear water until the reservoir overflows out of the
Recycled Glycol hose. The antifreeze is removed so that the newly Recycled Glycol does not
become too rich in inhibitors once the reinhibitor package is added. Replace the cover to the Pump
Reservoir.
