Coolant Reservoir

BIOLOGICAL & POISON

HAZARD!

Use the correct personal protection equipment when handling cutting fluid. Follow federal, state, and fluid manufacturer requirements for proper disposal.

A small amount of coolant is lost during normal operation. Check the coolant reservoir regularly and fill it if necessary. We recommend changing the coolant every three months or sooner if it develops an unpleasant odor.

The coolant reservoir holds approximately five gallons (19 liters) of fluid.
