front mounting bracket
3. Lift the FlexCut 200 and place on top and slightly forward of the
FlexCool 35

bottom of the power source slide into the channels of the mount
ing brackets on top of the FlexCool 35. Be sure all 4 feet are within
the channels.

Filling the Coolant Reservoir:
USE ONLY LINCOLN ELECTRIC TORCH COOLANT - BK500695
1.5 gallons of coolant are preloaded into the machine at the facility for live re testing.
Pour .75 gallons (2.84 liters) of coolant into the coolant reservoir ll hole through a funnel.
Use the coolant purge command in the machine UI menus to help prime the system.
While priming, add additional coolant to keep the reservoir full. The cooler is “FULL” when the coolant lies just below the
coolant reservoir opening.
Be certain to replace the reservoir ll cap when the reservoir is full. Operation of the FlexCool 35 without the reservoir
cap can cause unnecessary contamination and could be hazardous to others. See the FlexCool 35 manual for complete
