How To: Pump Down Procedure: Mid-Size Vogt Machines

1. Close the stop valve, “King Valve,” on the bottom of the receiver
2. Lower low pressure “Cut Out” on High/Low pressure safety switch to zero
3. Open water tank drain valve partially to allow a continuous flow of warm make-up water into the tank; and still maintain good water level
4. Allow the machine to run through one harvest
5. “Block Out” the freezer pressure switch stop valve
6. Allow machines to run until it shuts off by the low-pressure control

Note: If the machine has a plug-in harvest timer, pull it from the base instead of blocking out the freezer pressure switch
