MAINTENANCE
Every 50 Hours
¡ If the fluid level can not be checked by
fluid level lines.
Remove the caps (2) and look into the fluid
supply holes to check the fluid level. If the
fluid is below the sleeve (3), be sure to add
distilled water up to the bottom edge of the
sleeve (3).
Proper amount .... (A)
The fluid reaches up to the bottom edge
of the sleeve (3), so the surface tension
causes the fluid to swell and the plate
appears distorted.
Level too low ....... (B)
The fluid does not reach up to the bottom
edge of the sleeve (3), so the plate
appears laminar, not distorted.
4. Also check the terminals for looseness and
dirt.
Replenishing
When adding distilled water, do so before
starting operations in order to prevent
freezing.
1. Remove the caps (2), and add distilled
water until the upper level (H).
2. Inspect the indicator (1) then it turns blue.
3. Clean the cap's exhaust hole, then tighten
the caps (2) securely.
