ing freezing temperatures, check the
cooling system frequently and add higher
concentrations of antifreeze (up to a
maximum of 60% antifreeze) if required.

COOLANT
Coolant Recommendation
The owner must properly maintain the
coolant to prevent freezing, overheating,
and corrosion. Use only high quality
ethylene glycol antifreeze containing cor-
rosion protection inhibitors specifically
recommended for use in aluminum en-
gines. (SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER
LABEL).
CAUTION:
*
Hard water or salt water is harmful to
aluminum.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and water in the GLIIOG.
This coolant solution is recommended for
most operating temperatures and provides
good corrosion protection. A higher
concentration of antifreeze decreases the
cooling .system performance and is recom-
mended only when -additional protection
against freezing is needed. A concentration
of less than 40/60 (40% antifreeze)
will
not
provide proper corrosion protection. Dur-
