The liquid coolant in your system should be emptied for any of the below reasons:

1. To Keep it Clean - Koolance recommends replacing the liquid coolant once
every 12 months. The coolant should also be replaced if it becomes contaminated
or significantly changes color.

2. Upgrading Coolers - Whether you are adding or removing liquid coolers,
upgrades can be performed more easily with a dry system.

3. Shipping - Koolance recommends draining the liquid coolant if the system is to
be shipped or transported in a method other than by hand.

(NOTE: In situations #2 and #3 above, the liquid coolant can later be reused if
cleanly bottled.) Additional coolant may be purchased from your local Koolance
dealer.

Draining & Maintenance

Before draining the system, it should be placed
upright on a table with the bottom refill tap over-
hanging. Place a 1-liter container below the
opening to capture liquid. Unscrew the refill tap to
begin draining the system.

Most of the liquid will not fall out until a cooler
nozzle has been unattached. Remove the
tubing from a single cooler nozzle connection
within the chassis and hold the end up.

CAUTION

:

Because of the risk of leakage, Koolance recommends

removing computer hardware before draining your system.
