Anti-freeze
During the cold season, suitable anti-freeze should be ad-
ded to the cooling water in the fresh water system.
We recommend that you use our ethylene glycol (red, part
number 283241 in cans of 4.5 litres = 1 Imp.gall. = 1.2
U.S.gall.), which have the right amount of additive for neu-
tralizing corrosive matter that may be in the cooling water.
If Volvo's red glycol is used, it is sufficient to change the
coolant once a year, preferably in the autumn (fall).
Never use anti-freeze which is not approved. Among other
things, certain types of anti-freeze can cause corrosion in
the engine.
Methylated spirit of any kind should not be used since it
evaporates fairly quickly. It also increases the risk of corro-
sion in the cooling system.
At least 40% glycol should be used in order to avoid corro-
sion.
Flush the cooling system clean before filling it with antifree-
ze. Check hoses and connections and remedy any leaka-
ge.

NOTE! If water without glycol is used during the summer do
not add anti-corrosion agent which can damage the light-
alloy parts in the cooling system. In order to avoid corrosi-
on, the easiest method is to use a suitable mixture of Volvo
Penta red glycol all year round. It should be changed every
autumn.
