Note
Do not pour coolant into the ground, down a drain or into a stream, pond or
lake. Observe relevant local environmental protection regulations when
disposing of used coolant.
5.4: Engine Cooling System
Coolant
All Combilift IC engine powered trucks leave the factory with a mixture of 50%
water to 50% coolant concentrate (
Glysantin
®
G64
®
from 02/2018)
in the cooling
system. This protects the engine against:
Freezing down to -37°C (-34.6°F)
Corrosion
Cavitation
Overheating
If greater protection against freezing is required the proportion of coolant
concentrate can be increased to a maximum of 60%. This will provide
protection against freezing down to -52°C (-62°F).
Coolant must be completely replaced when repairs are performed on the
cooling system. Rinse out the cooling system before filling with new coolant. A
mixture of clean water with 15% of the new coolant is recommended for
rinsing.
Caution
Switch off the engine before working on the cooling system.
Never operate the engine without coolant.
Explosive release of hot fluids from the pressurised cooling system can
cause serious burns.
The engine and cooling system must be cool to the touch before working
on the cooling system.
Only remove the filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands.
Slowly loosen the cap to relieve pressure before removing completely.
Coolant is harmful if ingested. Seek immediate medical attention if
ingested.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective gloves and goggles
when handling coolant.
Note
It is advised not to mix different coolant products.
