Hi All,
Once agin i have got myself a new project, on which i want to knock over fairly quickly and start using. I recently got a Grimac "Ten" Series 2 Group Compact, from the Bay. I took off the panels to find a prity clean machine.
Some specs on the machine.
2 x e61 groups
4.9 Lt boiler
1 Steam arm
1 hot water arm
Sirari Pstat
Procon Pump
Gage for Pstat and OPV
13 amp rated.
Firstly can anyone help with a Instruction/Parts guide for this machine?
Secondly after a closer inspection of the boiler i can see some corrosion at some of the joins, I took off the water level probe to see if there was any scale, no scale but it was bent around half way down and black, like it was burnt. I know on my smaller machine this is not the case, why would you bend the water probe?
I have taken off a couple of other pipes to see that anything wrong, any pipe that was connected to the boiler is black, i could only think that this machine has run dry at some point. Is there any advice as to how to clear all the soot out of a boiler? has anyone come across this before? Is it worth the restoration?
I have also noticed that the electrical plug on the mahcine is 20 amp, but the original machine is rated at 13 amp. Should I get this changed or should i just install a 20 amp plug to use it.
Thanks for your help in advance
Chris
