Step 3: Filling the Coolant Tank
Do not overfill or tilt the coolant tank.
The fluid inlet on the coolant tank is open. Overfilling or tilting will cause fluid to spill out.
When raising or lowering the coolant tank, hold the parts indicated in the following figure.
Failing to do so may result in your fingers being pinched, leading to injury.
Items to prepare yourself
- Water (soft or purified water)
- Additive (ZAW-1000D)
- Chelating reagent (ZCH-250D)
1. Remove the coolant tank.
-
Click
.
- Click Next.
-
Gently push the bottom cover, and then lower it toward you to open it.
-
Remove the coolant tank.
CAUTIONWhen removing the coolant tank, hold the handle as shown in the figure.
Placing a finger under the drawer may lead to injury due to your finger hitting the cover.
2. Fill the machine with coolant
-
Remove the lid of the coolant tank () and the basket-shaped filter ().
Lift the lid and the basket-shaped filter together to remove them at the same time.
-
Place the collection tray () inside the coolant tank.
Orient the collection tray with the hole in front (the side with the coolant tank cap) and bring it to the front, positioning it in the center on the left and right.
-
Install the basket-shaped filter in the coolant tank.
-
Check that the coolant tank cap is tightened.
-
Make the coolant.
To make the coolant, mix three types of fluid—the water, additive (ZAW-1000D), and chelating reagent (ZCH-250D)—at fixed ratios. Use the included measuring cup for measuring.
-
Water + additive solution: Mix the water + additive solution and chelating reagent in the ratio of "400:1" (water + additive solution:chelating reagent).
There is no need to stir the solution.
To fill the tank, use 5,000 ml of water + additive solution and 12.5 ml of chelating reagent.
CAUTIONBe sure to use the specified additive.
Additives are effective in reducing coolant deterioration and raising the milling efficiency in order to maintain product performance. Furthermore, if additives are not used, the coolant may generate an unpleasant odor.
Refer to the appropriate safety data sheet (SDS) for the chemical substances used in the additive and chelating reagent and the safety related to those substances.
To purchase additives, contact your authorized DGSHAPE Corporation dealer or access our website (https://www.dgshape.com/).
IMPORTANTAdd an additional 12.5 ml of chelating reagent to the coolant when:
- It is easy for milling waste to adhere to the inside of the machine.
- The milling time exceeds 8 hours, regardless of whether milling waste adheres to the machine.
-
Water + additive solution: Mix the water + additive solution and chelating reagent in the ratio of "400:1" (water + additive solution:chelating reagent).
-
Fill the coolant tank with the coolant.
Do not add coolant past the "MAX" level written on the coolant tank.
-
Put the lid on the coolant tank.
Orient the lid to match the shape of the filter handles, and then place the lid so it fits securely.
3. Install the coolant tank
-
Return the coolant tank to its original position.
-
Push the coolant tank toward the back of the machine.
Push the coolant tank to the point where you feel a click.
MEMOMove the coolant tank slowly. Forcefully moving the coolant tank may cause the coolant to spray out.
Align the label affixed to the right side of the coolant tank with the label affixed to the machine.
-
Close the bottom cover.
- Click Complete.
