NOTICE
Use caution while servicing and disposing of coolant
in proper manner. MCHP coolant is 50/50 ethylene
glycol solution and is toxic. Glycol is specially
formulated with bittering agent to discourage
ingestion.
Wait for coolant to cool down if system has been
operating. Several hours may be necessary to cool
coolant fl uid to safe working temperature.
Use precautions while collecting coolant. Coolant
may fl ow at high rate due to pressure in system.
Verify tubing loops are open to prevent any vacuum
effect to adversely impact draining operation. If
coolant has under 24,000 hours of operation and is
clean, reuse when refi lling system.
It is recommended to evacuate lines with aid
of LOW pressure (under 5 psi) compressed air.
Alternatively, hand pump can be used.
