Poorly maintained cooling systems, or using inferior coolant products, may result in cooling systems that are
heavily contaminated with rust, scale, solder-bloom, corrosion deposits, oil/fuel or other debris which may
cause fouling of the radiator and cooling system galleries and loss of heat transfer performance. Once a sytem
is fouled or plugged flushing with plain water will not easily shift the contaminants.
Fleetguard’s Restore is an alkline cleaner and Restore Plus a mild acidic cleaner which remove the
contamination without harming harming the metal surfaces, gaskets, hoses or plastic parts.
Drain the cooling system and safely dispose of used coolant. Isolate the filter (if fitted) and backflush
1)
the system with plain water.
Immediately add 1 litre of Restore or Restore Plus for each 10-15 litre of cooling system capacity
2)
and fill the system with plain water.
e.g. For a 70 litre cooling system volume add 70/15 to 70/10 = 5 - 7 litres of cleaning agent
Turn heater temperature switch to high to allow maximum coolant flow through heater core. Blower
3)
does not need to be turned on.
Drain and flush the system (x 2) with plain water. This may require more than one flush
5)
Change your water/coolant filter if fitted and open the isolation valve.

Note: The performance of Restore and Restore Plus is dependent on time, temperature and concentration
levels. An extremely scaled or flow restricted system, for example, may require higher concentrations of
cleaners, higher temperatures, or longer cleaning time. Restore and Restore Plus can be used safely up
to twice the recommended concentration levels. Extremely scaled or fouled systems may require more
than one cleaning. Maximum recommended engine running time with any type of cleaner in the cooling
system is 3 hours. Any prolonged usage may cause damage to system elastomers and corrode system
soft metals.
