Coolant Specifications

Coolant specifications: 1:1 mix of water with coolant that meets ASTM D4985 specifications.
Be sure to use good quality water Excessive levels of Calcium/Magnesium, chloride, or sulfur
can lead to scaling problems or cooling system corrosion.

It is not necessary to remove the radiator cap to inspect the coolant level or add coolant to the
system. Coolant level can be inspected at the coolant recovery tank.
There are two level lines on the coolant recovery tank. The coolant level should be at the upper
line when the engine is hot or the level should be at the lower line when the engine is cool.
WARNING
Engine coolant system is pressurized. Allow the engine to cool before removing the radiator
cap. Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot may result in scalding hot fluid
to be sprayed from the radiator causing severe bodily injury.
WARNING
Antifreeze (coolant) contains mono ethylene glycol and other constituents which are toxic
if taken internally and can be absorbed in toxic amounts on repeated or prolonged skin
contact. Persons using antifreeze are recommended to adhere to the following precautions:
• Antifreeze must never be taken internally. If antifreeze is swallowed accidentally,
medical advice should be sought immediately.
• Precautions should be taken to avoid skin contact with antifreeze. In the event of
accidental spillage onto the skin, antifreeze should be washed off as soon as practical.
If clothing is splashed with antifreeze, it should be removed and washed before being
worn again, to avoid prolonged skin contact.
• For regular and frequent handling of antifreeze, protective clothing (plastic or rubber
gloves, boots and impervious overalls or aprons) must be used to minimize skin contact.
