TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Immobilization period-long fill of coolant!
Do not reuse used coolant
When replacing and removing components which rely on the corrosion protection effect of the coolant, it is essential to change the coolant. The cooling system must therefore be emptied and refilled
In the case of other removal work involving the draining of part quantities of coolant, the coolant level must be topped up with new coolant
