Coolant Solutions
Your tractor cooling system is equipped with an ethylene glycol coolant solution that has a high boiling point.
IMPORTANT: Change the coolant solution at the change interval recommended in this manual (See Lubrication and service Chart). The heat generated by the diesel engine causes a natural change in the inhibitors in the coolant, which results in loss of corrosion protection. The loss of the inhibitors may cause water pump cavitations and cylinder block erosion.
Install only ethylene glycol coolant solution in the cooling system. Use a good quality, high boiling point, ethylene glycol that does not have any additives to stop leaks. Do not install any rust inhibitors that are not approved. It is possible that the rust inhibitors and ethylene glycol will not mix and work against each other to decrease corrosion protection, form deposits in the cooling system and cause damage to the cooling system and the radiator.
Do not use a low boiling point, alcohol type coolant solution.
The boiling point of alcohol is below the tractor minimum operating temperature; loss of coolant due to evaporation will result.
IMPORTANT: Always have a minimum of 50 percent ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system at all times and at all ambient temperature ranges. Do not install more than 50 percent ethylene glycol in the cooling system unless the ambient air temperature will be less than
88
