Mimaki UJF 3042 MkII Ink pull

Hi, we have recently acquired a Mimaki Ujf 3042 Mkii which has not been used in a while. Good news is that most of the heads are working however we are getting an error which is Error 61B supply ink on the white channel.
We have taken a look at the subtank which is completely empty and wanted to see if we can pull the ink through the line and then connect it to the subtank as it could be a clogged line. Please can someone advise how to pull the ink through the line and also which number the line would be on this model? Also would we pull the ink half way then connect the line to the subtank? Also what mode would we have to put the machine in?

Don't.
Best bet is to clean out the bottle tank BEFORE trying to pull ink through. Odds are, there is a good solid centimeter or more of white pigment settled out just waiting to screw your head up 9 ways to Tuesday if you try and force that through. Disconnect the line, flush it completely. Disconnect subtank, flush it as well (has a clear window on the side, make sure all that pigment is removed). Rinse the lines out as well, if you feel daring, can run a wire or 3D printer filament, weed whacker line, etc. through it.
