6.1
Inspection and cleaning
WARNING
The mains supply must be disconnected before cleaning.
Dust, grinding swarf etc The air stream through the cooling unit carries particles
that become trapped in the cooling element, particularly in dirty working
environments. This results in reduced cooling capacity. For this reason, blow clean
using compressed air at regular intervals.
The coolant system - The recommended coolant must be used in the system
otherwise clumps can be created that block the pump, water connections or
elements. Flushing can only be performed via red water connection. Then drain the
tank manually, i.e. empty via the tank's filling hole.
6.2
Filling the coolant
ESAB's coolant is recommended for use. See accessories, see page 31.
S
Fill with coolant.
(The fluid level must not exceed the
upper marking but neither must it be
below the lower marking)
Note! Coolant must be topped up if
connecting a welding gun or coolant
hoses that are 5 metres in length or
longer. When adjusting the water level
by topping up, the coolant hoses do
not need to be disconnected.
CAUTION
The coolant must be handled as chemical waste.
