Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your AUTOOL CT500 machine.
- Cleaning the Unit: After each use, wipe down the exterior of the machine with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface or display.
- Fluid Management: Regularly drain and replace the cleaning and test fluids according to their respective manufacturer's recommendations. Proper disposal of used fluids is crucial.
- Injector Cleaning: Utilize the machine's ultrasonic cleaning function to thoroughly clean injectors. Ensure injectors are fully submerged in the cleaning fluid during this process.
- Accessory Storage: Keep all adapters, cables, and other accessories neatly organized in the built-in drawer to prevent loss or damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your AUTOOL CT500, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Machine Not Powering On: Check the power cable connection to both the machine and the power outlet. Ensure the main power switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify the power source is providing the correct voltage (110V).
- No Fluid Flow During Test: Ensure the test fluid reservoir has sufficient fluid. Check for any blockages in the fluid lines or injectors. Verify that the pressure is set correctly and the pump is operating.
- Inconsistent Spray Pattern/Volume: This may indicate clogged or faulty injectors. Perform an ultrasonic cleaning cycle. If the issue persists, the injector may need replacement. Ensure the correct voltage and pulse width settings are applied for the injector type.
- Pressure Gauge Reading Incorrect: Check for any leaks in the system. Ensure all connections are tight. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- Display Issues: If the screen is blank or showing errors, try restarting the machine. If the problem continues, refer to the warranty and support section.
