7.1 Inspection and cleaning
Check regularly that the power source is free from dirt.
The power source should be regularly blown clean using dry compressed air at
reduced pressure. More frequently in dirty environments.
Otherwise the air inlet/outlet may become blocked and cause overheating. To avoid
this you can use an airfilter.
The airfilter is an accessory. Ordering number on page 45.
7.2 Topping up the coolant
We recommend a 50/50 % mixture of water and ethylene glycol.
