Caution
• Any obstruction such as biological growth, small bends, or an upward sloping WASH DRAIN HOSE can cause
wash water to return to the WASH TANK causing an overflow of water.
• Concentrationsofchlorinebleachhigherthan10%orallowingthechlorinebleachtoremaininthePROCESSOR
for longer than 30 minutes can cause damage to the PROCESSOR.
[21] Check the WASH DRAIN for biological growth, small bends, or other obstructions. To remove biological growth

the PROCESSOR to normal use.
Warning
• Drains must be made of chemically resistant, non-corrosive material. Use PVC or the equivalent.
• The drain must have a minimum diameter of 7.6 cm (3 in.) and be free of obstruction.
• Drain service must comply with all local codes.
[22] Correctly route the WASH DRAIN HOSE to down toward the WASH DRAIN. If necessary, install new
3/4 x 60 in. FORMED TUBING, Part No. 264986.

e. SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY
f. AIR TUBES
Caution
To prevent contamination of the developer and fixer
solutions when you remove the FIXER RACK and the
DEVELOPER RACK, place the SPLASH GUARD
between the DEVELOPER TANK and the FIXER
TANK. Use the DRIP TRAY whenever you remove or
install the RACKS.
[5] Install the SPLASH GUARD between the
DEVELOPER TANK and the FIXER TANK.
[6] Remove the following parts:
a. FIXER RACK
b. SPLASH GUARD
c. DEVELOPER RACK
Warning
• Carefullyfollow all safety precautions and directionsincluded with the Kodak FIXER/WASHSYSTEM CLEANER
and Kodak DEVELOPER SYSTEM CLEANER AND NEUTRALIZER.
• The RACKS in the PROCESSOR have hollow ROLLERS. Use the instructions for cleaning RACKS with hollow
ROLLERS. Do not immerse RACKS with hollow ROLLERS in SYSTEM CLEANER. SYSTEM CLEANER that
remains inside the ROLLERS will contaminate the processing solutions.
• When circulating SYSTEM CLEANER or water through the recirculation system, energize the
RECIRCULATION PUMP using the internal diagnostics. See Diagnostics, Publication Part No. 5B6342.
Otherwise the following may occur:
– The effectiveness of the DEVELOPER SYSTEM CLEANER AND NEUTRALIZER will be greatly reduced
because of the developer remaining in the recirculation lines.
– The DEVELOPER SYSTEM CLEANER AND NEUTRALIZER remaining in the recirculation lines will
contaminate the new developer when the PROCESSOR is returned to operation.
[7] Clean the DEVELOPER RACK and the DEVELOPER TANK with Kodak DEVELOPER SYSTEM CLEANER
AND NEUTRALIZER, CAT No. 843 4615.
[8] Clean the FIXER RACK, the WASH RACK, and the FIXER TANK with Kodak FIXER/WASH SYSTEM

(c) Adjust the tension of the DRIVE CHAIN. If necessary, see the procedure in the Adjustments and
Replacements, Publication Part No. 5B6340.
[29] Check the operation of the DETECTOR SWITCHES. If necessary, adjust the DETECTOR SWITCHES. See
the procedures in the Adjustments and Replacements Manual, Publication Part No. 5B6340.
[30] Close the DRAIN VALVES and fill the processing TANKS with processing solutions and starter where
necessary. See the Operator Manual, Publication Part No. 5B6729, for filling instructions.
[31] Energize the PROCESSOR.
