COOLING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The cooling system circulates coolant through the engine where it absorbs excess heat from the engine.
The coolant then flows through the radiator where this waste heat is exhausted to the atmosphere.
Proper maintenance will help prolong the life of your generator set.
Coolant Specifications
It is important to use a high-quality engine coolant. Engine coolant comes in several types. The use of
50/50 mix of an ethylene glycol type of coolant and clean, soft water is recommended for use in this
generator set. The use of proper coolant helps prevent freezing, boil over, and corrosion.
