    Introduction

    The oil purifier consists of two halves. While both sides of the purifier are basically ableto process oil in the same manner, one side of the machine (Side A) contains a de-watering apparatus and the main power inverter, while the other (Side B) houses a

    pollution control element essential to reducing or eliminating airborne pollution whileoperating either half of the machine. Familiarize yourself with both sides and theirrespective functions.

    Scope

    This document provides basic start-up instructions and assumes the operators basicfamiliarity with safe machinery operation. These instructions also assume starting ofSide A, with a later (optional) startup of Side B.

    NOTE: While it possible to process oil simultaneously on both sides of the machine,staggering (out-of-phase) of operation may optimize overall high process and output.
