Health hazard due to nitrosamines.
– Avoid skin contact with coolants.
– Avoid inhaling vapors.
– Use skin protection products.
Mixing nitrite-based coolants with amine-based agents pro-
duces harmful nitrosamines.
Risk of engine damage due to overheating.
– Only add approved coolants of the same type.
– Only add approved coolant additives.
Adding unapproved coolants and coolant additives can
damage the radiator and cause the engine to overheat.
Risk of engine damage from adding coolant when hot.
Let the engine cool down before adding coolant.
Adding coolant to a hot engine can cause engine damage.
Risk of environmental damage due to improper disposal of
coolant.
– Make sure coolant does not seep into the soil or reach
bodies of water.
– Observe applicable environmental standards for disposing
of coolants.
Coolant that has not been properly disposed of or poured
contaminates ground water.
Possible health hazards or environmental hazards are also evident
from the instructions for use / operating instructions of the coolant
manufacturer.
The coolant added to a specific engine at the factory can be found
in the list of operating fluids. The antifreeze is sufficient to -37 °C
(-34 °F).
Information
Observe the coolant sticker near the radiator.
If the ambient temperature on site is below -37 °C (-34 °F), check
the engine manufacturer's operating manual or consult your
GROVE Service Partner before starting up the machine.
Information
If only a small amount (up to max. 5 l) is required to top up the
cooling circuit and no suitable coolant is available, you can provi-
sionally add clean drinking water. The coolant not only prevents
freezing, it is also important for corrosion protection. This is why
the correct concentration must be checked regularly and adjusted
as needed. The concentration must be checked at the next oppor-
tunity, at the latest however before temperatures reach freezing.
The appropriate coolant must be added to protect against freezing
and corrosion.
