Antifreezing compound

1. General:

In order avoid that the cooling water freezes, antifreezing compound is added. These are water-soluble
liquids, in most cases on glycol basis (e.g. ethylene glycol), with additives in order to avoid corrosion and
foam formation. The congealing point depends on the mixing ratio with water - see schematic
representation.
Products which are not explicitly given, can only be used if these are high-quality branded products; the
manufacturer must also be liable for possible secondary effects.
This product liability is also required for explicitly given products.

2. Remarks:

Before filling in the antifreezing compound, clean the entire cooling system by rinsing with water and
check for tightness.
Pour the necessary quantity of antifreeze into the cooling system and top up with clean, fresh water in
accordance with TI-no. 1000-0200.
Let motor run for 30 minutes after filling.
The cooling system must be vented, otherwise corrosion will occur in the air area.
Too low concentration cannot only cause unsufficient frost protection, but the (for example ”weakened
below 20 volume-%”) cooling liquid is possibly more corrosive than the cooling water itself!
