4.5 Operating Area
Always leave at least 24-36 inches around the unit. Obstructing the ventilation will cause poor performance or
part failure.
Always keep the operating area clean and organized to prevent injury or damage.
Only operate the unit in a climate-controlled facility. Normal operating temperature is 70°F or 20°C. If the
temperature exceeds 90°F or 32°C performance will be degraded.
Do not operate in high particulate areas, such as biomass grinding rooms. Damages will not be covered.
In areas with high humidity, performance will be degraded. Use air conditioning to reduce the humidity.
Units returned that have signs of outside use. Will automatically be determined to be improperly used and
cared for. Outdoor operation will void the warranty.
4.6 Operating Instructions and Notes
Filling and Priming:
Connect your tubing and prepare to inspect for leaks. Use a helper to turn on and off the loop when leaks are
detected. Keep empty buckets and spill absorption material close by in case of an accident. Wear appropriate
clothing and PPE. To make this process quicker, pre-fill your jacket after connecting the chiller.

6.
Fill the tank to 60% of the way up the level sight glass
7.
Stop filling, then enable the loop. * Look for leaks *
8.
When the level drops to 20% of the way up the glass, stop the loop.
9.
Repeat until the level has stopped dropping.
10.
Only fill the tank up 50-60% when you have finished priming.
Before operating the unit each time. Inspect the system for breaks, leaks, and signs of wear.
