Initial Filling Ensure the reservoir drain plug on the back of the chiller is in place, or the
Riton fitting is closed, and that all plumbing connections are secure.
Before using any fluid refer to the manufacturer’s SDS for handling
precautions.

The reservoir has a sight tube and ball for easy fluid level monitoring. Slowly
fill the reservoir with clean process fluid through the funnel only, failure to
comply may result in internal spillage.
Note Filling the reservoir above
MAX LEVEL
fill line will result in an
over flow error ( O FLO ) causing the chiller to shut down.

Since the reservoir capacity may be small compared to your application and
air may need to be purged from the lines, have extra cooling fluid on hand to
keep the system topped off when external circulation is started.
Figure 3-7 Reservoir Cap
Before replacing the reservoir cap ensure the reservoir sight tube
ball stopper is securely in place, see next page.
