OPT/i CU Torch Mode of operation of the OPT/i CU Torch deflate:
deflate: Empty- When using OPT/i CU Torch deflate option, the "Empty/fill torch hosepack" setup para-
ing/filling the meter is available in the power source setup menu under the component settings for the
torch hosepack auto and eco operating modes.
This function can be used to return the coolant in the torch hosepack to the coolant tank,
for example when changing the torch body.
The power source does not have to be turned off during this process.
When emptying hosepacks that are longer than 8 m (26 ft. 2.96 in.), a fully filled
coolant tank can overflow.
This can result in serious injury and damage to property.

If the coolant temperature is less than 50 °C (122 °F), the emptying process is started
from the power source setup menu or the welding torch and takes a maximum of 60
seconds.
After the torch body has been successfully changed, the torch hosepack can be filled
with coolant.

starting for the first time.
If this happens, top up the coolant.
The fans run for approx. 5 seconds
The coolant pump runs for approx. 3 minutes. The coolant pump switches off again
if welding does not start after around 3 minutes
