An effective recommended maintenance plan would include changing
the fluid every six months to optimize chiller reliability, see Section 3 for
additional information.
The user is responsible for maintaining reservoir fluid quality. Check the
fluid on a regular interval. Start with frequent checks until a regular interval
(based on your application) is established.
If cleaning is necessary, flush the reservoir with a fluid compatible with the
process fluid and the chiller's wetted parts, see Section 8.
Before using any fluid or performing maintenance where contact
with the fluid is likely refer to the manufacturer's SDS for handling
precautions.

For high-temperature chillers, ensure the fluid is at a safe
temperature (below 40°C) before handling.
Reservoir Sight Tube
Clean the sight tube by gently pulling up on the plastic funnel housing to
remove it (see illustration on previous page) and then gently pulling out the
black sight ball stopper from the tube. Use a long soft-bristle ¼" brush.
Use caution not to scratch the glass.
Before replacing the reservoir housing ensure the reservoir sight tube
ball stopper is securely in place.
For easier replacement, wet the stopper first and then use a twisting motion
to install it in the sight tube.
