With lower ambient temperatures paraffin precipitations may result in
congestions of the fuel system and, thus, in malfunctions.
■
Below an ambient temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) it is necessary to use
winter diesel fuel (up down –20 °C (–4 °F)) (gas stations provide them
early enough prior to winter time).
■
Below –20 °C (–4 °F) it is necessary to add engine petroleum.
For the mixture ratios required please see diagram.
■
For arctic climate zones up to –44 °C (–47 °F) it is possible to use
special diesel fuels.
In case it is necessary to use summer diesel fuels below 0 °C (32 °F) , it
is also possible to add engine petroleum up to 30 % as indicated in the
diagram.
Sufficient cold resistance may be achieved by adding flow improver.
5.00.03 Cooling liquid (coolant)
NOTICE
Wrong coolant additives!
Using the wrong coolant additives damages or impairs the function of
the cooling system.
■
Only use coolant additives recommended by manufacturer.
■
Only mix cooling system protecting agents/additives with the same
specification.
NOTE
If no coolant or the wrong coolant is used, liquid-cooled diesel
engines may be damaged by corrosion, cavitation and freezing.
Continually check the coolant level and the concentration of the cooling
system protecting agent in liquid-cooled diesel engines. Create the
necessary concentration of cooling system protecting agent by adding
a cooling system protecting agent to the cooling water. Check the
