To drain saturator fluid system, proceed as follows:
1) Disconnect power source from console.
2) Remove right side console panel.
3) Locate saturator drain valve (located below pump on right side of console). Remove
insulation on drain valve outlet. Remove Drain Valve Cap and connect 1/4" hose to
drain valve. Place other end of drain hose into two gallon container.
4) Open drain valve and drain methanol.
5) After draining methanol, close drain valve, remove drain hose and replace Drain
Valve Cap and insulation.
6) Repairs or shipment may be made at this time.
To fill saturator fluid system, proceed as follows:
1) Disconnect power source from console.
2) Locate and remove the four counter top bolts using 3/16" ball/hex driver, then remove
the counter top.
3) Remove circular insulation and using the 3/8" ball/hex driver remove the Methanol
Expansion Tank Fill Port Plug.
4) Locate RTD1 Access Insulation and remove. Using the 7/8" socket with 6"
extension, remove the Saturator Methanol Port Cap from the top of the saturator.
5) Insert the funnel into the Methanol Expansion Tank Fill Port.
Slowly
and
carefully
fill the saturator assembly until methanol is observed just below the Saturator
Methanol Port Fitting located on top of the saturator (in the square insulation area).
Note -
The methanol must be added slowly as it is being gravity
fed through 3/8" tubing between the methanol expansion
tank and the saturator. Do not allow funnel to fill.
Methanol degrades the urethane foam insulation; sponge
dry any methanol spilled during the filling operation!
6) Replace the Saturator Methanol Fill Port Cap (tighten 1/4 turn past finger tight).
7) Replace Methanol Expansion Tank Fill Port Plug.
8) Replace all insulation.
9) Replace counter top.
