Removing and installing the lid on Unger’s HydroPower system may seem challenging at times, but with the right steps, it can be a simple and efficient process. Whether you’re replacing resin or performing routine maintenance, following proper techniques ensures a secure fit and extends the lifespan of your equipment. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to remove and install the HydroPower lid with ease, helping you maintain optimal performance for your professional cleaning tasks.
Tips for Removing the Lid from Your Unger HydroPower
- Release Pressure: Start by opening the water valve at the base of the unit to release any built-up pressure. This step ensures the lid can be removed safely and easily.
- Ensure Stability: Place the unit on a flat surface and position yourself securely over the top of the system. Make sure both feet are firmly planted on the base of the unit to provide leverage and stability during the process.
- Depress the Yellow Release Lever: Locate the yellow release lever on the lid. Press it down firmly to unlock the lid mechanism.
- Turn and Lift: Turn the lid counterclockwise (about a ¼ turn) to disengage it. Once loosened, simply lift the lid straight off the unit.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to remove the HydroPower lid quickly and efficiently, keeping your workflow smooth and hassle-free.
Tips for Installing Your Unger HydroPower Lid
- Release Trapped Air:
- Open the on/off valve located at the base of the unit to release any air trapped inside. This will make the installation process smoother.
- Settle the Resin:
- Ensure the resin is fully seated in the canister.
- To help the resin settle, pick up the system and gently tap it on the ground. This step is crucial to ensure the resin has fully settled into the system which allows you to properly re-install the lid.
- Secure the System:
- Firmly plant both feet on the base of the unit to stabilize it. This prevents the unit from shifting during lid installation.
- Align and Install the Lid:
- Hold the lid by the handles.
- To install the lid, position it so the output connection is roughly a quarter turn left of the on/off valve located at the base of the unit. When the lid has properly been installed, the output connection should face the same direction as the on/off valve located at the base.
- Press the lid firmly down until it sits flush with the top lip of the unit.
- Turn the lid clockwise until it snaps into place. You should hear a click when the lid is securely installed. Tip: You do not have to press down on the yellow release lever while installing the lid.
- Lubricate the O-Ring (if needed):
- Over time, the lid assembly’s O-ring may lose lubrication, causing friction during installation.
- Apply a small amount of lubricant such as:
- Dawn Dish Soap
- Water-based lubricant
- Axle grease
- Apply the lubricant to the top lip of the housing or the inside portion of the lid where it makes contact with the housing. This will make it easier to secure the lid in place.
