7. Filling the system
◆ Connect a separate pump to the filling valve with pressure hose.
◆ Open the filling and drain valve, fill the system with the separate pump. Heat medium liquid
(usually use water-glycol mixture as heat medium, 50% glycol and 50% water) will be pumped
into the system until it is filled up. Close the drain valve and continue to fill the system with
medium liquid until the system pressure is not lower than 2 bar (the system pressure can be read
from the manometer).
◆ Close the filling connector and switch off the pump.
