Coolant for Main Drive Friction Clutch

The cooling system of the main drive friction clutch is
filled to provide protection against corrosion and freeze
protection to -37 °C (-34 °F).
Use a low silicate ethylene glycol base coolant
concentrate. The mixing ratio is 50% concentrate and
50% water.
The coolant concentrate must be of a quality that protects
the cast iron in the cooling system from cavitation
corrosion.
A 50% mixture of ethylene coolant in water provides
freeze protection to -37°C (-34°F). If protection at lower

Alternative and Synthetic Lubricants

Conditions in certain geographical areas may require
lubricant recommendations different from those printed in
this manual.
Some lubricants may not be available in your location.
Consult your KEMPER dealer to obtain information and
recommendations.

Mixing Lubricants

In general, avoid mixing different brands or types of oil.
Oil manufacturers blend additives in their oils to meet
certain specifications and performance requirements.

Lubricant Storage

Your equipment can operate at top efficiency only when
clean lubricants are used.
Use clean containers to handle all lubricants.
Store lubricants and containers in an area protected from
dust, moisture, and other contamination. Store containers
on their side to avoid water and dirt accumulation.
Lubrication and Periodic Service
temperatures is required, consult your KEMPER dealer
for recommendations.
Water quality is important to the performance of the
cooling system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralized
water is recommended for mixing with ethylene glycol
based coolant concentrate.
Coolant Change Intervals
Drain coolant from the main drive friction clutch, flush the
cooling system and refill with new coolant after the first 3
years or 3000 hours of operation. At each interval, drain
the coolant, flush the cooling system, and refill with new
coolant.
Synthetic lubricants may be used if they meet the
performance requirements as shown in this manual.
The temperature limits and service intervals shown in
this manual apply to both conventional and synthetic
lubricants.
Re-refined base stock products may be used if the
finished lubricant meets the performance requirements.
Mixing different oils can interfere with the proper
functioning of these additives and degrade lubricant
performance.
Consult your KEMPER dealer to obtain information and
recommendations.
Make certain that all containers are properly marked to
identify their contents.
Properly dispose of all old containers and any residual
lubricant they may contain.
