Cooling System Coolant Extender (ELC) - Add

SMCS - 1353; 1395

S/N - 2PZ1-UP

S/N - APX1-UP

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.

NOTICE
Adding coolant to an overheated engine could result in damage to the
engine. Allow the engine to cool before adding coolant.

If the machine is to be stored in, or shipped to, an area with freezing

temperatures, the cooling system must be protected to the lowest

outside (ambient) temperature.

The engine cooling system is normally protected to a minimum of-29°C

(-20°F) with Caterpillar Antifreeze, when shipped from the factory
unless special requirements are defined.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair
of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop

Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

NOTICE
Excessive additive (greater than the recommended 6% initial fill)
together with concentrations of antifreeze greater than 60% cause
deposits to form and can result in radiator tube blockage and
overheating.

NOTICE
Mixing Extended Life Coolant (ELC) with other products reduces the
effectiveness of the coolant and shortens coolant life. Use only
Caterpillar products or commercial products that have passed the
Caterpillar EC-1 specifications for premixed or concentrate coolants.
Use only Caterpillar Extender with Caterpillar ELC. Failure to follow
these recommendations could result in the damage to cooling systems
components.

If ELC cooling system contamination occurs, refer to Operation and

Maintenance, "Extended Life Coolant (ELC)" under the topic ELC
Cooling System Contamination.

This machine was factory filled with Extended Life Coolant.

Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, "Cooling System Specification" for the
cooling system requirements.

Use 8T-5296 Test Kit in order to check the concentration.

(1) Filler cap for the aftercooler cooling system

(2) Filler cap for the jacket water cooling system

(3) Level gauge for the aftercooler cooling system

(4) Level gauge for the jacket water cooling system

1. Loosen two filler caps (1) and (2) slowly in order to relieve pressure. Remove two filler caps (1)
and (2) .

2. Check two level gauges (3) and (4). If necessary, drain enough coolant in order to allow the
addition of the liquid coolant additive.

Note: Make sure that the coolant is drained into a suitable container.

3. Refer to the table in Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, "Extended Life Coolant
(ELC)". This table lists the correct amount of Caterpillar Extended Life Coolant (ELC) extender
that should be added to the cooling system.

4. Clean two filler caps (1) and (2) and inspect two filler caps (1) and (2). Install two filler caps (1)
and (2) .

5. Start the engine and check for leaks. Allow the coolant level to stabilize.

6. If necessary, add premixed coolant in order to bring the coolant to the proper level on two level
gauges (3) and (4) .
