5.02 Coolant Filter Cleaning Procedure
Periodic cleaning of the coolant filter ensures maximum coolant flow efficiency. Poor coolant flow causes ineffi-
cient 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 bowl by hand. Be sure to keep the O-ring.
3. Remove and clean the filter. Re-install the bowl, tightening it by hand. Be sure the O-ring is in place.
4. Turn the system on and check for leaks.
