9.4.2 - COOLANT
Q8 ANTIFREEZE LONG LIFE is used in the RC40 as the coolant.
• Q8 ANTIFREEZE LONG LIFE diluted in deionised/demineralised water, a permanent coolant
that can be used all year round.
• To ensure perfect mixing, it is essential to mechanically mix the antifreeze with the dilution
water.
• The antifreeze protection depends on the proportion of Q8 ANTIIFREEE LONG LIFE diluted in
water.
Volume to dilute out of total
Temperature reached for the
appearance of the first crystals
• To ensure adequate corrosion protection, the coolant must contain at least 33% Q8
ANTIFREEZE LONG LIFE.
• We recommend using at least 50% in volume of Q8 ANTIFREEZE LONG LIFE in the final mix.
• IT IS advisable to dilute with deionised water.
Q8 ANTIFREEZE LONG LIFE meets the main international specifications for antifreeze:
ASTM D 3306; ASTM D 4656; ASTM D 4985, ASTM D 6210; JIS K 2234; SAE J 1034.
9.4.3 - FUEL
• Do not use diesel filling systems that use auxiliary electric pumps without the
written consent of McConnel.
• It is forbidden to tamper with or modify the fuel supply system and/or
electrical system.
• When handling fuel or coolant, do not smoke or work near a source of heat or
sparks.
• Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Do not incinerate or burn
containers; make sure the machine is free from dirt, grease or inflammable
residues.
• We recommend using standard-compliant fuels:
ASTM D975 N.1D S15 N.2D S15
