1999/08/30 Caterpillar

All Engines/Machines with Cooling Systems

Warranty Category: M

Features/Benefits

* Used to recycle antifreeze

* Produces a consistently high-quality output

* When antifreeze additive is added, finished antifreeze meets GM 6038-M low silicate antifreeze specification (required if antifreeze is used in Caterpillar products)

* Manufactured by Finish Thompson Inc.

NOTE: Caterpillar approves recycled antifreeze if reclaimed by vacuum distillation and reinhibited with Caterpillar(r) Antifreeze Additive. It must meet GM 6038-M low silicate antifreeze specification for new antifreeze. 30% ethylene glycol is the minimum recommended antifreeze solution. This is required in order to maintain the correct lubricity for proper water pump operation.

Optional Parts

9U-6849 Cart Assembly

* Has a 56.8 L (15 gal) drum with casters for receiving antifreeze

* A lever operated hand pump transfers antifreeze to reclaiming still

9U-6850 Pump, Lever Operated

* Used to transfer coolants to reclaiming still (same as pump in 9U-6849 Cart Assembly, except sold separately)

4C-7342 Pump, 1:1 Husky Air Operated Diaphragm

* Recommended for faster transfer of antifreeze to reclaiming still
