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.
�. 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.
