Vacuum the chiller and check the fluid level (new design)

Introduction

It is advised to vacuum the chiller every month to keep the printer in the best condition. Vacuuming the chiller is part of periodic maintenance so the operator panel gives a warning when you should vacuum the chiller. Always check the fluid level when you vacuum the chiller.

Before you begin

Use Colorado 1630 prescribed:

  • Screwdriver (Torx-25)

  • Vacuum cleaner with a brush head

Check the fluid level

To check the fluid level, locate the level gauge glass behind the right-hand side of the cover.

Do not remove this section of the cover. You can see the level gauge glass through the openings in the cover.

If the fluid level is near the bottom of the green zone, you must refill the chiller.

  2. Unscrew the left and right screws on top of the cover with the Torx-25.
  3. Lift the cover a little up and towards you (1), then lift it up fully and take it out (2).
  4. Vacuum the condenser surface as indicated. Make sure you remove all the collected dust.

    Do not remove any parts of the chiller.

    CAUTION

    Vacuum the surface with care, make sure you do not damage the condenser surface.

  5. Place the cover back into position.
  6. Fasten the left and right screws on top of the cover.
  7. When you vacuumed the chiller as part of periodic maintenance, on the operator panel tap on [Completed] to end the maintenance action.
