Mounting the FlexCool 35 underneath the FlexCut 200:
The FlexCool 35 can be mounted underneath the FlexCut 200
machine or by itself on a flat surface. No power source should
ever be installed underneath the FlexCool 35.
Securing the FlexCut 200 to the FlexCool 35:
1. Begin by setting the FlexCool 35 on a hard flat surface.
2. Remove the two 7/16" bolts and the locking bracket from the
front mounting bracket.
3. Lift the FlexCut 200 and place it on top and slightly
forward of the FlexCool 35.
4. Carefully guide the FlexCut 200 so that the quick lock feet on
the bottom of the power source slide into the channels of
the mounting brackets on top of the FlexCool 35. Be sure all 4
feet are within the channels.
5. Slide the FlexCut 200 all the way back so that it is sitting
exactly overtop of the FlexCool 35. The feet should be all the
way at the back of the channels.
6. Replace the locking bracket into the front mounting bracket
of the FlexCool 35. Torque both 7/16" bolts to 50 in-lbs.
Filling the Coolant Reservoir:
USE ONLY LINCOLN ELECTRIC TORCH COOLANT - BK500695
1.5 gallons of coolant are preloaded into the machine at the facility for live fire testing.
Pour 0.75 gallons (2.84 liters) of coolant into the coolant reservoir fill hole through a funnel.
Use the coolant purge command in the machine UI menus to help prime the system.
While priming, add additional coolant to keep the reservoir full. The cooler is "FULL" when the coolant lies just
below the coolant reservoir opening.
Be certain to replace the reservoir fill cap when the reservoir is full. Operation of the FlexCool 35 without the
reservoir cap can cause unnecessary contamination and could be hazardous to others. See the FlexCool 35
manual for complete instructions and safety precautions.
