Product

• 1.7x Heads and Chillers

Machines affected

All output with 1.7x Heads and Chillers

Component

Chiller

Symptoms

Noisy operation and eventual pump failure. Air pockets can find their way into the system and cause the pump to cavitate.

Cause

Low coolant level. Coolant level not checked and topped up.

Solution

When installing a new 1.7 head, or during a head swap, it is important to top up the coolant level in the chiller because the new head will consume a relatively large amount of coolant from the chiller reservoir.
