Coolant. Mixture
WARNING!
All glycol is hazardous and harmful to
the environment. Do not consume!
Glycol is flammable.
IMPORTANT!
Ethylene glycol must not be mixed
with other types of glycol.
Mix:
40 % “Volvo Penta Coolant” (conc. coolant)
60 % water
This mixture protects the engine against internal cor-
rosion, cavitation and frost damage down to -28 °C
(-18°F). (Using 60 % glycol lowers the freezing point to
-54 °C (-65°F)). Never mix more than 60 % concentrate
(Volvo Penta Coolant) in the cooling liquid, this will give
reduced cooling effect and increase the risk of over-
heating, and will give reduced freezing protection.
IMPORTANT!
Coolant must be mixed with
pure
water, use
distilled - de-ionized water
. The wa-
ter must
fulfill the requirements specified by Volvo
Penta, see “Water quality”.
IMPORTANT!
It is extremely important that the
correct concentration of coolant is added to the
system. Mix in a separate, clean vessel before
adding into the cooling system. Ensure that the
liquids mix properly.
