Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali. At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns. Remove cooling system pressure cap slowly to relieve pressure only when engine is stopped and cooling system pressure cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. Do not attempt to tighten hose connections when the coolant is hot, the hose can come off causing burns. Cooling System Coolant Additive contains alkali. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. |

Mixing ELC with other products will reduce the effectiveness of the coolant. This could result in damage to cooling system components. If AVSpare products are not available and commercial products must be used, make sure they have passed the AVSpare EC-1 specification for pre-mixed or concentrate coolants and AVSpare Extender. |
Use AVSpare Extended Life Coolant (ELC) when you add coolant to the cooling system.
Reference: Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "AVSpare Machine Fluids Recommendations" for all cooling system requirements.
- Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool.
- Remove the cooling system pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the pressure.
- Use a Coolant Conditioner Test Kit in order to check the concentration of the coolant.
Note: It may be necessary to drain some coolant from the radiator so that AVSpare Extender can be added to the cooling system.
Note: Discard drained fluids according to local regulations.
- Add AVSpare Extended Life Coolant (ELC) to the cooling system.
- Inspect the gasket of the cooling system pressure cap. If the gasket is damaged, replace the pressure cap.
- Install the cooling system pressure cap.
