Engine coolant Use Texaco XLC long life coolant. Use one part anti-freeze to one part water for
protection down to -36°C (-33°F).
IMPORTANT: Coolant solution must not fall below 50% anti-freeze otherwise
damage to engine is liable to occur. Maximun concentration is 60%.

LUBRICATION PRACTICE
Use a high quality oil of the correct viscosity range and service classification in the engine during maintenance and
when topping up. The use of oil not to the correct specification can lead to high oil and fuel consumption and
ultimately to damaged components.
Oil to the correct specification contains additives which disperse the corrosive acids formed by combustion and
prevent the formation of sludge which can block the oilways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Always
adhere to the recommended servicing intervals.
WARNING: Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous. They must
not be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances, among others,
include anti-freeze, windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.

ANTI-FREEZE
PERCENTAGE CONCENTRATION - 50%
PROTECTION - LOWER TEMPERATURE LIMIT
Complete protection
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold,
-33°C (-36°F).
Safe limit protection
Coolant in semi-frozen state. Engine may be started
and driven away after warm-up period, -41°C (-42°
F).
Lower protection
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and
radiator. Thaw out before starting engine, -47°C (-53°
F).
CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never
be allowed to fall below 50% otherwise
damage to the engine is liable to occur.
Also, anti-freeze content should not exceed 60%
as this will greatly reduce the cooling effect of the
coolant.RECOMMENDED FUEL
Diesel fuel oil, distillate, diesel fuel, automotive gas or
Derv to British standard 2869, Class A1 or A2
Using diesel fuel with a class rating lower than stated
above could seriously impair vehicle performance.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Viscous Fan
1.Idler pulley drive attachment
2.Fan blades3.Bi-metallic coil
4.Body
The viscous fan provides a means of controlling the speed of the fan relative to the operating temperature of the
engine. The fan rotation draws air through the radiator, reducing engine coolant temperatures when the vehicle is
stationary or moving slowly.
The viscous fan is attached to an idler pulley at the front of the engine which is driven at crankshaft speed by the
auxiliary drive belt. The fan is secured to the pulley by a right hand threaded nut. The nut is positively attached to
the fan spindle which is supported on bearings in the fan body. The viscous drive comprises a circular drive plate
attached to the spindle and driven from the idler pulley. The drive plate and body have interlocking annular
grooves with a small clearance which provides the drive when silicone fluid enters the fluid chamber. A bi-metallic
coil is fitted externally on the forward face of the body. The coil is connected to and operates a valve in the body.
The valve operates on a valve plate with ports that connect the reservoir to the fluid chamber. The valve plate also
has return ports which, when the valve is closed, scoop fluid from the fluid chamber and push it into the reservoir
under centrifugal force.
Silicone fluid is retained in a reservoir at the front of the body. When the engine is off and the fan is stationary, the
silicone fluid level stabilises between the reservoir and the fluid chamber. This will result in the fan operating when
the engine is started, but the drive will be removed quickly after the fan starts rotating and the fan will’freewheel’.

COOLING SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION When the coolant temperature is low, the heat emitted from the radiator does not affect the bi-metallic coil. The
valve remains closed, preventing fluid escaping from the reservoir into the fluid chamber. In this condition the fan
will’freewheel’at a slow speed.
As the coolant temperature increases, the heat emitted from the radiator causes the bi-metallic coil to tighten. This
movement of the coil moves the valve to which it is attached. The rotation of the valve exposes ports in the valve
plate which allow the silicone fluid to spill into the fluid chamber. As the fluid flows into the clearance between the
annular grooves in the drive plate and body, drag is created between the two components. The drag is due to the
viscosity and shear qualities of the silicone fluid and causes the drive plate to rotate the body and fan blades.
As the coolant temperature decreases, the bi-metallic coil expands, rotating the valve and closing off the ports in
the valve plate. When the valve is closed, centrifugal force pushes the silicone fluid through the return port,
emptying the fluid chamber. As the fluid chamber empties, the drag between the drive plate and the body is
reduced and the body slips on the drive plate, slowing the rotational speed of the fan.
