The coolant in your system should be emptied for any of the below reasons:

1. To Keep it Clean - Koolance recommends replacing the liquid coolant about

every 2 years. The coolant should also be replaced if it becomes contaminated

or signiﬁ cantly changes color.

2. Upgrading Coolers - Whether you are adding or removing liquid coolers,

upgrades can be performed more easily with a dry system.

3. Shipping - For safety, Koolance recommends draining the liquid coolant if the

system is to be shipped or transported in any method other than by hand.

Draining & Maintenance

Before draining the system, it should be placed

upside-down on a table with the ICM-505 rotated

open. Hold a wide 2 liter container below the res-

ervoir to capture liquid. Unscrew the reﬁ ll plug to

begin draining the system.

In some conﬁ gurations, air may not be able to

enter the system and will prohibit coolant from

draining. If this occurs, you can remove tubing

from the farthest cooler from the reservoir within

the chassis to release the liquid.

CAUTION: Because of the possibility of leakage, computer hardware

should ﬁ rst be removed before draining your system if done so by

hose disconnection.

Radiator Performance

Over time, dust will accumulate on the radiator. While the cooling system may

continue to operate in this condition, performance can decrease. To keep the

system clean, check the radiator periodically (through the fan grill) and keep it

clean with a can of electronics air cleaner.
