CoolanT (anTiFreeze/Summer CoolanT)
Cummins recommends antifreeze/summer coolant, for use
in their engines, which can be purchased in concentrate (and
mixed with 50% demineralized water) or pre-diluted. See the
Cummins engine owner's manual for further details.
Warning
If adding coolant/antifreeze mix to the
radiator, do not remove the radiator cap
until the unit has completely cooled. The
possibility of hot coolant exists which can
cause severe burns.
Day-to-day addition of coolant is done from the recovery
tank. When adding coolant to the radiator, do noT remove
the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See
Table 12 for engine, radiator, and recovery tank coolant
capacities. Make sure the coolant level in the recovery tank
is always between the "H" and the "L" markings.
