8. Operation
A few steps must be taken before MP SYSTEMS auxiliary coolant and chip control system
can be put into operation.
8.1. Filling & Priming
After all hoses are connected to V-2 Series the internal feed pump must be primed before first use.
Make sure inlet hose to feed pump is as short as possible and not above tank level.
To Prime:
▪
Remove side door panel and open the ball valve located on bottom of the filter vessel.
▪
Using the filter as a funnel, pour coolant into filter vessel, you can see coolant start to trickle
out of feed pump inlet.
▪
Keep this valve open until coolant comes out of the feed pump inlet and starts to fill up the
hose on the inlet side of the feed pump. This may take a few minutes.
▪
After the hose is about ¾ full of coolant, close the T-handle ball valve and reseal the filter lid.
▪
The feed pump has now been primed with coolant and it is ready for motor rotation check and
operation.
Feed pump may need to be run a few times on startup to pull full prime. Rest alarm using
illuminated red alarm reset button a couple times to allow pump to run if necessary.
