While your pump is still running, flip your case face up as shown figure
13 for a few seconds. This will allow all the air trapped in the radiator and
other components to bleed out.

Then, bring the case back to vertical again.

Open and close the main valve a few seconds one more time, just to
allow any left over bubbles.

Visually inspect your lines for any traces of air, and if none are
observed, close both inlet and discharge valves.






Your system is now fully operational!

There will be no maintenance required, and no need to refill the system
over time, as the circuit is completely air-free, and there is no evaporation
of the fluid.

FINALLY, MAKE SURE TO RE-OPEN THE MAIN VALVE!
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL PREVENT ANY CIRCULATION IN
YOUR SYSTEM, AND CAUSE IT TO FAIL RAPIDLY.

Laying the computer face up to
allow all the air to bleed.



Final steps:

Lift the inlet, and discharge tubes from the bottle above the coolant level,
and lower the bottle below the level of the computer. This will allow
whatever coolant was trapped into the tubes to empty itself into the feed
bottle: no spill, no mess ☺

Disconnect the fill and bleed tubes from the valves as shown figure 14.
Removing tubes from quick-connect fittings is quite easy but takes a little
practice. The FBK525 inlet and discharge valves feature two little “ears”
on the collet, which ease the removal process: Firmly hold the tube in
the cradle formed by three fingers, and push against the ears with
thumb and index fingers. This will disengage the tube from the
fitting. Correct position of the hand and fingers is shown in figure
14.


Finally, clean off the opening of the fittings to prevent the last remnants of
moisture to drop into your case.

INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE.

3. Draining the system:


Insert fill and bleed tubes into inlet and discharge valves. Plunge tube from discharge into an empty container. Close main valve. Open inlet valve.
Clean off the extremity of tube from inlet valve and blow into it to flush the liquid out. Do not use compressed air to perform this operation, as it could
damage your pump.
