Emptying and Cleaning the Tank
IMPORTANT
The container and the cover plate have to be placed correctly, otherwise the
pump cannot suck up the water.
IMPORTANT
Flush the recirculation system with clean water if Accutom is not to be used
over longer periods of time. This will prevent any dried residue of cutting
material from damaging the inside of the pump.
Refilling the Tank
IMPORTANT
Always maintain the correct concentration of Struers Additive in the cooling
water (percentage stated on the container of the Additive). Remember to
add Struers Additive each time you refill with water.
