[131] Coolant Bottle

Procedure

1.

Remove the coolant tube from the coolant bottle lid.

2.

Remove the coolant bottle from the ink bay.

3.

Remove the coolant bottle lid.

4.

Get the coolant fluid container that shipped with the printer (usually located behind the door to
the left of the coolant bottle in the Primary Ink Bay).

5.

Fill the coolant bottle.

6.

Attach the lid to coolant bottle and return it to the Primary ink bay.

7.

Store the coolant fluid until it is needed again.

NOTE

The Accessory Pack that ships with a new printer contains a 2 litre container of coolant. During
an install the coolant system requires 1.8 litres to fill the coolant bottle and lines. We suggest
that you order more coolant from your sales representative so that you will have some when
you need to top up the system.

Fill the Coolant Reservoir
