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
®
)
in the cooling system. This protects the
engine against:
Freezing down to -37°C (-34.6°F)
Corrosion
Cavitation
Overheating
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.
