Routine Flushing
If a complete rebuild is not required, ushing the GaugeCalXP can serve as a quick and simple way
to remove small amounts of dirt or sediment from the system. Flushing can also be used to ensure
that any air is removed from the system prior to performing a calibration test. Flushing the unit
should never serve as a substitute for a rebuild; and remember that any service beyond a routine
ush should always be performed by a qualied technician.
Flushing Instructions
1 Remove all gauges from the GaugeCalXP pressure comparator.
2 To completely open the reservoir, wind the handle counter-clockwise until you feel it stop.
3 Securely grip the front of the Baseplate (near the bearing block) and lift to tip the GaugeCalXP
on its end. Any uid in the system will run out through the rear Gauge Base port.
4 Set the unit back down, at on the Baseplate, and begin to pour warm soapy water or clean
hydraulic oil into the reservoir. Continue to ll the unit until the uid begins to run out of the
Gauge Base ports. Always dispose of uids in a responsible manner.
5 Once again, tip the GaugeCalXP on its end until all of the uid in the system has drained out.
6 Set the unit back down, then wind the handle clockwise at least 10 turns, then ll the reservoir
with test uid to within 6mm (1/4") from the top.
7 Follow the operator instructions supplied with your GaugeCalXP to ll the system and begin
calibration testing.
CAUTION: Solvents can damage o-rings and should never be used when ushing or otherwise
cleaning the GaugeCalXP.
