CLEANING THE RADIATOR

WARNING : Care must be taken to ensure that the EK-Cleaning Solution Concentrate liquid does not come into contact with the eyes or skin. Indications on the label only apply to the concentrate. Once the working solution is prepared, the use of protective equipment is no longer necessary.

1. Mix EK-CryoFuel Loop Cleaner (Concentrate 250 ml) with distilled water in a ratio of 1:5 (to obtain 1500 ml of liquid, hereinafter: Cleaner mix).
2. Fill about 2/3 of the radiator with the Cleaner mix liquid, seal the radiator with plugs and shake the liquid well.
3. Dispose of the liquid after a few minutes.
4. Fill the radiator with Cleaner mix to the brim and let it sit in the radiator for at least two hours. We recommend eight hours for optimal results (but not more than 24 hours). Shake the radiator several times during this time.
5. Drain the Cleaner mix from the radiator, replace it with distilled water, shake the radiator and pour the distilled water out.
6. Repeat the process with distilled water until all free particles have been removed from the radiator.

CLEANING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM

WARNING: During the cleaning process, the system must not be burdened to avoid an increase in temperature!
WARNING: In the case of non-epoxidized aluminum components coming in contact with the Cleaner mix liquid in the system, it is recommended to rinse the system for one to three hours, but not more than twice. Failure to do so may result in an aluminum reaction on the surface.
WARNING: Care must be taken to ensure that the EK-Cleaning Solution Concentrate liquid does not come into contact with the eyes or skin.

Indications on the label only apply to the concentrate. Once the working solution is prepared, the use of protective equipment is no longer necessary.

1. Mix EK-CryoFuel Loop Cleaner (Concentrate 250 ml) with distilled water in a ratio of 1:5 (to obtain 1500 ml of liquid, hereinafter: Cleaner mix).
2. Fill the system with a Cleaner mix and allow the mixture to circulate through it for about eight hours (not more than 24 hours). The procedure may be repeated no more than twice. If you do it twice, the first pumping should last two hours and the second up to 24 hours.
3. Drain the Cleaner mix from the system, then fill the system with the prepared Superflush mix solution (see instructions for EK-CryoFuel Superflush) and allow it to circulate for fifteen minutes.
4. Rinse the system with Superflush mix until there are no more visible cleaning agent residues (foam). If the liquid starts to foam too much, it is necessary to reduce the pump speed.
5. Once the system has been rinsed, fill it with fresh Superflush mix solution and allow it to circulate in the system for 24 hours.
6. After 24 hours, drain the Superflush mix from the system, then fill the system with the selected EK-CryoFuel coolant.
7.  The system is now ready for use.
