5.03 Coolant Replacement Procedure

Replace coolant as follows:

1. Disconnect the system from main input power.

2. Remove the two right side panels.

3. Locate the coupling in the coolant line that comes from the bottom of the coolant tank, #1 in the following

illustration. Disconnect the coolant line at this fitting and drain the coolant into a disposable container of

sufficient size. Remember you will be draining more than the contents of the coolant reservoir.

4. Once coolant is draining, disconnect the gray hose coupling #2 in the illustration below. Allow excess coolant

to drain, then apply a maximum of 5psi to clear the lines.

CAUTION

Applying more than 5 psi air pressure to the cooling system will result in damage. Extra caution must

be used when performing this task.

5. Reconnect those two fittings and then remove the filter bowl from the canister at the rear of the power sup-

ply. Pour this remaining coolant into the container and replace the filter bowl.

If you also need to replace the coolant still in the leads, disconnect the leads from the power supply and

manually drain them.

6. Fill the tank with fresh coolant until the right level is reached checking for leaks.

7. Turn system on, let it run for a few minutes and check coolant level, refill as needed. Refer to Section 3:26

Complete Installation on the procedure for this.
