circulation tank and pour it with the water up to the level where water overflows.
2) Turn the switch on and off to make sure the circulation pump rotates in the direction marked
on the main body of the pump and then switchs on the unit for operation.
3)After rotation of the circulation pump becomes correct. Measure the current flowing through
the motor and must sure that current is lower than the specified value (the rated value of current specified
on the nameplate of the circulation pump).Then keep the condition of valve in circulation pump.
(2) Exhaust fan
1) After completing installation, duct work and wiring of the exhaust fan, inspect and clean the
inside of the duct. If any foreign mater is sucked during operation.The exhaust fan might be broken.
2) Before switching the motor on, turn the fan by hand to make that it rotates smoothly.
3) Set the volume damper at the half.
4) Turn the switch on and off to make sure the exhaust fan rotates in the direction marked on the
main body of the fan. If its direction is incorrect. Change wiring of the motor.
5) After rotation of the exhaust fan becomes correct. Switch on the unit for operation.
6) Set the volume damper to adjust air flow rate to rated value.
7) Measure the current of the motor and make sure that current is lower than the specified value
(the rated value of current specified on the nameplate of the motor.)
If the current exceeds the rated value, reduce it lower than the rated value by reducing the air flow rate
through the damper.

(3) Scrubbing Tower

1) Observe the inspection port of spray nozzle, check that the packing are evenly distributed
and that spray from the spray nozzles is uniform.
