Maintenance
AVOID INJURY. Coolant fluid is a 30% ethylene glycol/water mixture.
TOXIC: Do not ingest. Contact local environmental authorities for proper
disposal of ethylene glycol mixtures.
Tools required: Open end wrenches 1”, 7/8”, 13/16”
If leaks occur at compression fitting joints with nylon plastic tubing, re-tighten compression nut
until firmly seated. Do not drain fluid. Do not over-tighten.
Leaks occurring at pipe thread, o-ring, or gasket joints require system disassembly to repair.
Consult an SCAI Service Center.
If loss of coolant results in compressor shutdown from over-heating, factory service is required.
Consult an SCAI Service Center.
