1. How to Operate the Water Pump1. Press and hold “START” button, and then press “FUNC” button. The LED displays “P1”, and the WaterPump begins running. You will hear a rhythmic clunking sound each time the water pump operates.It may take several minutes for water to come out of the nozzles. If you do not see water after that time,try gently squeezing the sides of the water bottle to push water into the tubing and clear the air.If the water still does not come out, press Stop. Remove the tubing from the water bottle and use a canof compressed air to blow some air through the tubing until you feel air coming out of the nozzles.Repeat step 1.The water will not come out in a steady stream, but a few drops should come out each time the pumpengages.2. Press any button on the Operation Panel to stop the pump after confirming that water is coming out ofboth Water Nozzles. The display on the LED returns to “cd” or “bd”.2. How to Operate the Compound Pump1. Press and hold “STOP” button, and then press “FUNC” button.The LED displays “P2”. The Platen Table will begin rotating clockwise, which also starts the CompoundPump.It may take several minutes for the compound to fill the lines and drip out of the nozzles.2. Press any button on the Operation Panel to stop the Platen Table after confirming that compoundcomes out from both Compound Nozzles. The display on the LED returns to “cd” or “bd”.IMPORTANT: On a daily basis, run these tests to confirm that water andcompound are coming out from each nozzle before using the machine.WARNING: Put the nozzle caps back on the compound nozzles if the machineis going to sit for more than 24 hours between repair sessions, or thecompound will clog the lines. The 2 polish nozzles are the top left nozzle, andthe lower right nozzle.

3. 5 How to Install the PadsThe pads have a polishing side, and a Velcro side that attaches to the pad holder.1.
