Maintenance After Initial 50 Hours Of Operation - Sullair 1600H User Manual

1600C LP USER MANUAL
Cross contamination which is caused by adding different
types of engine coolants will result in the coolant
additives to deplete (dropout); thus leaving radiator
surfaces unprotected. Corrosion to radiator surfaces will
occur, thus reducing radiator life expectancy.
CAUTION
The radiator and engine cooling system
must be drained and flushed every two (2)
years. Replace the coolant with a solution
of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water or as
required for your geographic location. DO
NOT use a leak sealing type of anti-freeze.
Should a 100% water solution be used, a
non-chromate rust inhibitor must be added.
CAUTION
Dispose of fluids in accordance with appli-
cable federal, state and local regulations.
