INTRODUCTION
Engine coolant
CASE AKCELA PREMIUM ORGANIC ANTI-FREEZE is the reference genuine product.
NOTICE: Use of different coolant brands is not recommended.
NOTICE: Never add Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA) when using CASE AKCELA PREMIUM ORGANIC ANTI-
FREEZE .
NOTICE: Never mix CASE AKCELA PREMIUM ORGANIC ANTI-FREEZE coolant with conventional coolant. Mix-
ing organic based coolant with conventional coolant will reduce the effectiveness of CASE AKCELA PREMIUM OR-
GANIC ANTI-FREEZE coolant.
NOTICE: If only conventional coolant is available, a complete changeover of the fluid into the cooling system shall be
carried out. Refer to the procedure described in the Chapter 6 (Engine coolant replacement).
The engine cooling system shall always be refilled with coolant solution made by mixture of antifreeze and distilled
(deionized) water.
NOTICE: Never refill the cooling system with only antifreeze. Never refill the cooling system with only water.
Using CASE AKCELA PREMIUM ORGANIC ANTI-FREEZE , a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled (deionized)
water grants proper performance of the engine cooling system in the above mentioned operating temperature range
of the machine.
NOTICE: If operating in extreme winter climate, a coolant solution made by 60/40 antifreeze/distilled (deionized) water
mixture shall be used in order to grant proper performance of the engine cooling system.
NOTICE: Never use coolant solution with more than 60 % of antifreeze. This affects the cooling capacity of the mix-
ture.
The antifreeze concentration in the mixture of antifreeze and distilled (deionized) water can be determined with a
refractometer designed to measure ethylene glycol content.
If distilled (deionized) water is not available, use water for dilution with the following properties:
Property Maximum limit
Total Solids
340 ppm
Total Hardness 340 ppm
Chloride (Cl)
340 ppm
Sulfate (SO4) 100 ppm
Acidity pH 5.5 to 9.0
NOTICE: Never use hard water, sea water and softened sea water that has been conditioned with salt. The minerals
and salts present in potable water can cause corrosion and deposits resulting in shortened engine life.
