Coolant
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the coolant is over-
flowed to the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled with a quality coolant that is a 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol
antifreeze.
This 50/50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing protection to –36°C (–33°F).
• Maintain cooling system freeze protection at –36°C (–33°F) to ensure protection against corrosion and loss
of coolant from boiling. This should be done even if freezing temperatures are not expected.
• Add ethylene glycol base coolant when coolant has to be added because of coolant loss or to provide added
protection against freezing at temperature lower than –36°C (–33°F).
NOTE:
• Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
• Coolant must be mixed with demineraled water or distilled water.
