Coolant (Ethylane Glycol [Green] / Water — 50/50 mix)Use only drinkable tap water. If hard water or water withmany impurities is used, the inside of the engine and radiatormay become coated with deposits and cooling efficiencywill be reduced.NOTEDCA-600SSV— SETUPWhen the antifreeze is mixed withwater, the antifreeze mixing ratiomust be less than 50%.An anticorrosion additive added to the water will help preventdeposits and corrosion in the cooling system. See the enginemanual for further details.WARNING - BURN HAZARDSIf adding coolant/antifreeze mix to theradiator, DO NOT remove the radiator capuntil the unit has completely cooled. Thepossibility of hot! coolant exists whichcan cause severe burns.Day-to-day addition of coolant is done from the recoverytank. When adding coolant to the radiator, DO NOT removethe radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. SeeTable 10 for engine and radiator, coolant capacities. Makesure the coolant level in the recovery tank is always betweenthe "H" and the "L" markings.Table 10. Coolant CapacityCleaning the RadiatorThe engine may overheat if the radiator fins becomeoverloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the radiatorfins with compressed air. Cleaning inside the machine isdangerous, so clean only with the engine turned off and thenegative battery terminal disconnected.Air CleanerPeriodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. Inspect it inaccordance with the Volvo Engine Owner's Manual.Fan Belt TensionA slack fan belt may contribute to overheating, or toinsufficient charging of the battery. Inspect the fan belt fordamage and wear and adjust it in accordance with the VolvoEngine Owner's Manual.The fan belt tension is proper if the fan belt bends 10 to 15mm (Figure 38) when depressed with the thumb as shownbelow.E ngine and Radiator 24.6 Gal.
