Ammann ASC 70 - Coolant

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
3.2.3. Coolant
The coolant specication must meet requirements of:
CES 14603
To ll the cooling circuit, use the coolant
in the mixing ratio of 50%/50% with high-
-quality water (thermal protection up to
-37 °C).
The maximum admissible concentration
of the coolant is 60% (thermal protection
up to -54 °C).
Change the coolant every 2,000 hours of
operation, after 2 years at the latest.
Note:
The machines are lled with a cooling solution with the Bant-
leon Avia Antifreeze NG coolant, specication CES 14603, ASTM
D 4985, ASTM D 6210 at the manufacturer’s during the produc-
tion.
It is a coolant based on monoethyleneglycol containing silicates.
It does not contain phosphates, nitrates, amines and borates.
There is an Avia NG label placed at the point to ll the coolant
into the machine.
Rell the cooling circuit with the same or
a completely miscible coolant of the re-
quired specication.
If the use of a dierent, immiscible cool-
ant is necessary, the cooling circuit must
be completely drained and cleaned with
clean water repeatedly, at least 3 times.
However, it is not allowed to use a coolant
of a dierent specication than stated by
the engine manufacturer.
The coolant protects the cooling system
from freezing, corrosion, cavitation, over-
heating, etc.
It is forbidden to operate the machine
without coolant even for a short time.
It is forbidden to use a coolant of a dif-
ferent than prescribed specication and
base. The engine and the cooling system
can get damaged and the warranty lost.
Always check the ratio of antifreeze cool-
ing agent in the coolant with a refractom-
eter before the winter season starts.
Water quality
Do not use hard water with a higher content of calcium and
magnesium, which brings calculus formation, and with a higher
content of chlorides and sulphates, which causes corrosion; re-
fer to CUMMINS Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual.
The maximum content of compounds of calcium and magne-
sium is 170 milligrams – hardness of water.
The maximum content of compounds of chlorine is 40 milli-
grams.
The maximum content of compounds of sulphur is 100 milli-
grams.
Safety instructions:
1) Protect your hands with protective gloves.
2) In case of ingestion immediately seek medical
treatment.
3) In case of contact with skin or clothing immedi-
ately wash the aected area with clean water.
4) Do not mix dierent types of coolants. The mix-
ture can cause a chemical reaction with formation
of harmful substances.
