3.26 Flood Coolant System (Optional)
The flood coolant system consists of a submersible flood pump mounted in the base casting of the machine. The flood
line runs up the back of the column and through the Z-axis cable track. It splits at a y-fitting in the headstock where it
runs to two separate lengths of loc-line.
• The submersible flood pump is mounted behind the access panel shown below.
• The sump can be drained for coolant changes by using a wet vaccum.
