Changing Coolant
The Model G3616/G3617 coolant tank holds
approximately 4 gallons of coolant. We recom-
mend changing this fluid every six months or
sooner if it develops an unpleasant odor.
For the best protection against rust, always follow
the coolant manufacturer's recommendations for
coolant/water ratios.
Checking/Adding
Coolant
A small amount of coolant is lost during normal
machining operations.
To check/add coolant, do these steps:
1.
Remove the drain screen (
Figure 58
), and
inspect how far the coolant is from the top of
the tank.
•
If the coolant is more than 2" from the top
of the tank, add more coolant to fill the
tank.
Drain Screen
Figure 58.
Coolant tank drain screen location.
The reservoir on this machine is designed
to store cutting fluid. During storage some
fluids grow dangerous microbes, or due to
the collection of toxic metal chips in the
fluid, the fluid can become a potent and
extremely poisonous solution to humans
and animals.
Use the correct personal protection
equipment when handling cutting fluids to
prevent infections and poisoning.
Follow Federal, State, and the fluid
manufacturer requirements to properly
dispose of used cutting fluid.
To change the cutting coolant, do these
steps:
1.
Place an oil pan under the drain plug, remove
the drain plug, and allow the coolant to drain
completely.
2.
Remove the drain screen and clean out any
sludge through the opening. Using a magnet
when cleaning will help remove metal par-
ticles.
3.
Replace the drain plug.
4.
Fill the tank with a new mixture of coolant by
pouring into the tank opening where the drain
screen was removed.
5.
Replace the drain screen you removed in
