Fill the Conditioner with Coolant Liquid
CAUTION
• Before adding coolant to the Conditioner, always switch off the Generator and MDR
circuit breakers in the Generator Cabinet. Switch on the MDR breaker only as instructed.
• Always use a funnel when adding coolant to the Conditioner.
• Always wear protective gloves and goggles when working with coolant.
• When performing the following procedure, be careful to avoid spillage of coolant,
especially onto or near electrical connections. If any coolant is spilled, it must be
cleaned up immediately.
• Always treat coolant with care; avoid unnecessary contact.
See below for First Aid advice:
First Aid in case of contact with Conditioner coolant
:
Immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
If coolant contacts the eye, call a physician immediately.
If coolant is swallowed, drink one to two glasses of water or milk. Avoid alcohol. Call a physician
immediately.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Note:
A document describing an alternate procedure is provided in the coolant kit. For maximum safety
and minimum risk of spillage, General Electric Healthcare recommend using the procedure given
below:
1. Check that all hoses are correctly connected.
2. Remove the reservoir cap.
3. Use the funnel to add slowlyliquid from the container
labeled
Topping
to the reservoir until the liquid
reaches the bottom of the cap threads. The total
capacity of the cooling system is approximately 500
ml (1 pint).
Take great care to keep coolant away from the
vents, the ON/OFF switch, and the power cord con-
nection. Do not immerse the Conditioner in any liq-
uid.
4. Switch on the unit (switch on the MDR circuit
breaker and press the Conditioner on button in the
Generator cabinet).
5. As the coolant circulates and air bubbles are flushed
from the system, the coolant level falls. Add liquid as
necessary until the level is steady at the bottom of
the cap threads.
6. Replace the reservoir cap when you are satisfied
that the level is correct.
7. Dispose of surplus coolant. In a normal non-sensi-
tive environment, you can dispose of surplus coolant
by pouring down a drain. Triple-rinse containers before placing them in appropriate waste recepta-
cles.
