KIT-BEARING 5357937 - Caterpillar

Drain the coolant into a suitable container.
Dispose of the coolant according to local regulations.
Fill the cooling system with a 33 percent solution of Cat ELC and operate the engine, ensure that the thermostat opens. Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool. Drain the coolant.Note: Use distilled or deionized water in the solution.
Again, fill the cooling system with a 33 percent solution of Cat ELC and operate the engine ensure that the thermostat opens. Stop the engine and allow to cool.
Drain the cooling system.
Incorrect or incomplete flushing of the cooling system can result in damage to copper and other metal components.
Fill the cooling system with the Cat Premixed ELC. Operate the engine. Ensure that all coolant valves open then stop the engine. When cool check the coolant level.ELC Cooling System Contamination
Mixing ELC with other products reduces the effectiveness of the ELC and shortens the ELC service life. Use only Cat Products for premixed or concentrate coolants. Failure to follow these recommendations can result in shortened cooling system component life.
ELC cooling systems can withstand contamination to a maximum of 10 percent of conventional heavy-duty antifreeze or SCA. If the contamination exceeds 10 percent of the total system capacity, perform ONE of the following procedures:
Drain the cooling system into a suitable container. Dispose of the coolant according to local regulations. Flush the system with a 5 to 10 percent solution of Cat ELC. Fill the system with the Cat ELC.
Drain a portion of the cooling system into a suitable container according to local regulations. Then, fill the cooling system with premixed ELC. This procedure should lower the contamination to less than 10 percent.
Maintain the system as a conventional Heavy-Duty Coolant. Treat the system with an SCA. Change the coolant at the interval that is recommended for the conventional Heavy-Duty Coolant.Commercial Heavy-Duty Antifreeze and SCA
Commercial Heavy-Duty Coolant which contains Amine as part of the corrosion protection system must not be used.
Never operate an engine without water temperature regulators in the cooling system. Water temperature regulators help to maintain the engine coolant at the correct operating temperature. Cooling system problems can develop without water temperature regulators.
Check the antifreeze (glycol concentration) to ensure adequate protection against boiling or freezing. Caterpillar recommends the use of a refractometer for checking the glycol concentration. A hydrometer should not be used.Cat engine cooling systems should be tested at 500 hour intervals for the concentration of SCA.Additions of SCA are based on the results of the test. An SCA that is liquid may be needed at 500 hour intervals.Adding the SCA to Heavy-Duty Coolant at the Initial Fill
Use the equation that is in Table 5 to determine the amount of SCA that is required when the cooling system is initially filled.
Table 5
Equation For Adding The SCA To The Heavy-Duty Coolant At The Initial Fill
V × 0.045 = X
V is the total volume of the cooling system.
X is the amount of SCA that is required. Table 6 is an example for using the equation that is in Table
