General Coolant Inform ation
NOTICE
Never add coolant to an overheated engine. Engine
damage could result. Allow the engine to cool first.
NOTICE
If the e
ngine is to be stored in, or shipped to an area
with below freezing temperatures, the cooling system
must be either protected to the lowest outside temper-
ature
or drained completely to prevent damage.
NOTICE
Frequently check the specific gravity of the coolant for
proper freeze protection or for anti-boil protection.
Cle
an the cooling system for the following reasons:
•
Contamination of the cooling system
•
Overheating of the engine
•
Fo
aming of the coolant
NOTICE
Never operate an engine without water temperature
r
egulators in the cooling system. Water temperature
regulators help to maintain the engine coolant at the
proper operating temperature. Cooling system prob-
l
ems can develop without water temperature regula-
tors.
Many engine failures are related to the cooling
system. The following problems are related to cooling
system failures: Overheating, leakage of the water
pump, and plugged radiators or heat exchangers.
These failures can be avoided with correct cooling
system ma
intenance. Cooling system maintenance is
as important as maintenance of the fuel system and
the lubrication system. Quality of the coolant is as
importa
nt as the quality of the fuel and the lubricating
oil.
Coolant
is normally composed of three elements:
Wa ter, additives, and glycol.

Distilled water or deionized water is
recom
mended for use in engine cooling systems.
DO NOT use the following types of water in cooling
syste
ms: Hard water, softened water that has been
conditioned with salt, and sea water.
If di
stilled water or deionized water is not available,
use water with the properties that are listed in Table 8.
