Coolant (Antifreeze/Summer Coolant/

Water)

PERKINS recommends antifreeze/summer coolant for use in their engines, which can be purchased in concentrate (and mixed with 50% demineralized water) or pre-diluted. See the PERKINS Engine Owner’s Manual for further details.

WARNING

If adding coolant/antifreeze mix to the radiator, DO NOT remove the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. The possibility of hot! coolant exists which can cause severe burns.

Day-to-day addition of coolant is done via the radiator. When adding coolant to the radiator, DO NOT remove the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. Coolant capacity is 4.5 gallons (17 liters).

Operation in Freezing Weather

When operating in freezing weather, be certain the proper amount of antifreeze Table 7 has been added.

Radiator Maintenance

1.Check radiator for leaks that would indicate corrosion or damage.

2.Check coolant level daily.Top off as necessary. Always use recommended coolant/antifreeze. Use the mixing ratios specified by the coolant/antifreeze manufacturer or (Table 7). Replace coolant/antifreeze at least once a year.

3.Check radiator hoses for fatigue or cracking. Replace any defective hoses immediately.

4.Check radiator cap seal and replace as necessary.

5.Blow off dirt and dust from fins and radiator with 28 psi (193 kPa) or less of compressed air (Table 7). Be careful not to damage the fins with the compressed air.

NOTICE

NEVER use high-pressure water or compressed air at greater than 28 psi (193 kPa) or a wire brush to clean the radiator fins. Radiator fins damage easily.

6.If there is a large amount of contamination on the fins, use detergent to clean and rinse thoroughly with tap water.
