There is supposed to be a square, white container under the cooler. That should be about 3/4 full of Dow Frost, Pull it out and fill it up.

there is no contaner ?? i droped the whole unit to see if it was inside?? there a little pump and a radiator and a line in and out right up to the spindle

[cadman]

The pump and chiller is located behind the machine on the side where the waylube pump is. The container for the Dow Frost is supposed to be right under the cooler.

What year and model do you have?

You beat me to it. Looks like we're playing online tag in the Fadal forum.

if your looking strait at the mech an the right hand side on the bottom of the sheet metal is a box with a radiator facing down theres a small pump in there too, it thats your pump for the spindle maybe it was modifyed??

Ok, you had the model and year in the 1st post. I'm not sure about that machine. Go to Fadal's website and you can download their machine documentation.
