Caution
• Any obstruction such as biological growth, tight 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.
[20] Check the WASH DRAIN for biological growth, tight bends, or other obstructions. To remove biological growth
do the following steps:
(a) Fill the WASH TANK and DRAIN with a 10% solution of chlorine bleach.
(b) Wait a minimum of 20 minutes and a maximum of 30 minutes.
(c) Drain the chlorine bleach solution and rinse the TANK and DRAIN thoroughly with water before you return
the PROCESSOR to normal use.
Warning
• Drains at the site 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 (3.0 in.) and be free of obstruction.
• Drain service must comply with local codes.
[21] Correctly route the WASH DRAIN HOSE to slope down toward the floor DRAIN. If necessary, use
REINFORCED HOSES that resist making tight bends. Right angle ELBOW FITTINGS are also available. The
Part Numbers are:
• 696442 - Reinforced HOSE, 5/8-in. I.D. Order by the foot.

[2] Open the FIXER and DEVELOPER DRAIN VALVES to drain the solutions from the PROCESSOR.
[3] Remove:
• WET SECTION COVER
• WATER DISCONNECT and WATER RESERVOIR
• EVAPORATION COVERS
• all CROSSOVERS
• DRYER RACK
• WASH RACK
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 when you remove or install the RACKS.
[4] Install the SPLASH GUARD between the DEVELOPER TANK and the FIXER TANK.
[5] Remove:
• DEVELOPER RACK
• FIXER RACK
• SPLASH GUARD
Warning
• Carefullyfollow all safety precautions and directions includedwith 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 developer
COOLING SOLENOID and the RECIRCULATION PUMP using the PORTABLE COMPUTER. 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 HEAT EXCHANGER.
– The DEVELOPER SYSTEM CLEANER AND NEUTRALIZER remaining in the HEAT EXCHANGER will
contaminate the new developer when the PROCESSOR is returned to operation.
[6] Clean the DEVELOPER RACK and the DEVELOPER TANK with Kodak DEVELOPER SYSTEM CLEANER
AND NEUTRALIZER, CATALOG No. 843 4615.
[7] Clean the FIXER RACK, the WASH RACK, and the FIXER TANK with Kodak FIXER/WASH SYSTEM
CLEANER, CATALOG No. 139 5110.
[8] CleantheWASHTANKwith Kodak FIXER/WASHSYSTEMCLEANERor,ifbiologicalgrowthexists,witha10%
solution of chlorine bleach.
[9] If necessary, clean the LEVEL SENSOR PROBES with the correct SYSTEM CLEANER.
