5.02 Coolant Filter Cleaning Procedure
Periodic cleaning of the coolant filter ensures maximum coolant flow efficiency. Poor coolant flow causes inefficient
torch parts cooling with consequent faster consumable wear.
Clean the coolant filter as follows:
1. Disconnect system from main input power.
2. Unscrew and remove the filter canister by hand. Large canister located at the back of the power supply. Be
sure to keep the O-ring.
3. Inspect and replace filter as needed. Re-install the canister, tightening it
by hand.
Be sure the O-ring is in
place.
4. Turn the system on and check for leaks.
