Before Starting

1) Upon unpacking the VFX 1 verify all components as depicted below are included. Contact Symtech if any

components are damaged or missing.

2) Thoroughly read manual and become familiar with control panel and components!

3) Prepare appropriate mixture of water and vehicle specified type of coolant in the new fluid container.

Always use specified coolant per vehicle manufacturer’s specification or vehicle owner’s manual. The

VFX 1 is shipped standard with “1”, PRIMARY (internal) and “1” ALTERNATE (external) 5-gallon new

coolant tanks. Additional tanks can be ordered from Symtech as required.

4) Verify that all valves are in the correct position – see information on control panel valves and verify flow

control valves located at hose ends are closed to avoid accidental operation or spills. (See Pg 5-7)

5) Connect the VFX 1 to clean shop air supply – minimum constant pressure of 70psi and maximum pressure

of 120psi. Shop air must be filtered clean air as debris may impact performance of the unit.

6) The VFX 1 is now ready to perform coolant fluid exchanges.

 NOTE: NEVER over fill PRIMARY (internal) New Fluid Tank, doing so could cause a small amount of

fluid to seep out of the overflow tube, leaving traces of fluid in bottom of VFX 1 case.

 NOTE: NEVER put anything but coolant and water mix in the new coolant tank of the VFX 1. If A

CHEMICAL cooling system flush is to be used, it should be added and circulated in the cooling

system prior to exchange functions being performed.

 NOTE: NEVER put any type of STOP LEAK into New Fluid Tank, STOP LEAK will clog filters,

fittings and hoses. Placing STOP LEAK into the new fluid tank will VOID warranty and result

in excessive repairs.

 NOTE: Always test the freeze point of coolant after exchange is complete to verify the coolant offers

proper protection for geographic area.
