The table defines values for temperatures up to - 30°C.
Preparing the solution:
1.Anhydrous calcium chloride CaCl
2
shall be added to water, never opposite!
2. The solution is not danger, but it should be manipulated with care. Wash the spilt solution drops with pure water..
3. Before filling, allow the solution cool down. Keep to the prescribed quantity of slaked lime.
4. The solution may not enter in contact with metallic components and electric installation elements. It is not dangerous for the
air tube valve.
5. The frost-proof solution prepared in the described way may not be used may in the cooling system.
6. After being discharged, dispose the anti-freeze agents as a special waste.
Note: The volume of the mixture in the tire corresponds to the filling up to the valve..
The frost-proof mixture can be prepared with adding calcium chloride CaCl
2
or magnesium chloride MgCl
2
.
Dosing 0,40 kg of CaCl
2
into 1 l of water protects the tire up to -30°C temperature (0,3 kg / l protects the tire up to -20°C tem-
perature, and 0,2 kg /l does it up to -15°C temperature).
Dosing 0,55 kg of MgCl
2
per 1 l of water protects the tire up to -30°C temperature.
