4. If total hardness is higher than 170 ppm and all
other parameters are within the given specifi ca-
tions, the water must be softened before it is used
to make coolant solution.
ETHYLENE GLYCOL CONCENTRATE -EGC
(ANTIFREEZE)
1. Ethylene glycol coolant concentrate is commonly
mixed with water to produce an engine coolant
with a low freeze point and high boiling point.
2. A low silicate form of ethylene glycol coolant is
recommended for all diesel engines.
3. Use an ethylene glycol coolant concentrate meet-
ing ASTM D 4985P, SAEJ1941, General Motors
Performance Specifi cation GM1899M, or formu-
lated to GM6038M.
4. This product is concentrated and should be mixed
to the following specifi cation.
5. If additional coolant solution needs to be added to
the engine due to leaks or loss, the glycol concen-
tration should be checked with a hydrometer to
assure that the desired freeze point is maintained.
6. IMPORTANT
DO NOT use methyl alcohol or methoxy pro-
panol base EGC. These concentrates are not
compatible with chemicals used in supplemental
coolant additives. Damage can occur to rubber
seals on cylinder liners which are in contact with
coolant.
DO NOT use an EGC containing sealer or stop-
leak additives.
DO NOT use EGC containing more than 0.1%
anhydrous metasilicate. This type of concentrate,
which is intended for use in aluminum engines,
may cause a gel-like deposit to form that reduces
heat transfer and coolant fl ow. Check container
label or consult with supplier.

CAUTION: EGC (Antifreeze) is fl ammable.
Keep it away from any open fl ame. Avoid
contact with eyes. Avoid contact with skin.
Do not take internally. In case of contact,
immediately wash skin with soap and water.
For eyes, fl ush with large amounts of water
for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Follow all warnings on the container.
SUPPLEMENTAL COOLANT ADDITIVE
(SCA)
CAUTION: Supplemental coolant additive
contains alkali. Avoid contact with eyes.
Avoid contact with skin. Do not take inter-
nally. In case of contact immediately wash
skin with soap and water. For eyes, fl ush
with large amounts of water for at least 15
minutes. Call a physician. KEEP OUT
OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Follow all
warnings on the container.
1. Your engine is equipped with a spin-on coolant
fi lter conditioner element which provides the
SCA's to protect your cylinder liners. The inner
element releases chemicals into the coolant to
maintain a proper acid/alkaline balance, inhibit
corrosion and suppress erosion pitting.
2. Important: All engines.
ALWAYS change the coolant conditioner-fi lter
element according to the service chart in this
manual.
3. Important: Radiator and heat exchanger cooled
engines.
Additional SCA's should NOT be added to the
mixture of EGC/H
2
0 on initial fi ll up of engines
with a coolant conditioner-fi lter. A high SCA
concentration will result and can cause silicate-
dropout. When this happens, a gel-type deposit
is created in the cooling system which retards
heat transfer and coolant fl ow.
4. Important: Engines with Keel Cooling.
The SCA in the spin-on fi lter may not be able
to treat the large volume of coolant in a vessel's
keel cooling system. The operator must use a
test kit strip to determine the amount of addi-
tional SCA's that need to be added to the cooling
system.
