The Coolant Recycling Center is located on the back of the CSC10R. Recycle when the Waste Coolant
Drum contains between 12 and 15 gallons. Do not allow drum to overflow.

CAUTION:
Waste coolant MUST be evaluated prior to recycling. Improperly recycled coolant which does
not meet standards can result in damage to the equipment or the vehicle's engine and is not
supported under warranty.

CAUTION:
Do not recycle hot coolant. the waste coolant must be below 120 0 F. Recycling hot waste coolant
can result in equipment damage.
EVALUATING WASTE COOLANT FOR RECYCLING:
1. Check the large opening on the Waste Coolant Drum for oil floating on the surface of the waste
coolant. Remove any oil present previous to recycling and dispose of properly.
2. Open the valve on the Yellow Hose and place it into the large opening on the Waste Coolant Drum.
3. Press the Process Switch to ON position. Allow pump to run for approximately 20 seconds then
switch to OFF position. This step clears the filter of liquid from the previous batch.
4. Remove nozzle from drum and pump approximately 20 ounces into the triangular measuring cup.
Observe for excessive foaming (bubbles which do not readily break or standing foam).
5. Check sample for appearance/odor, freeze point and pH.
THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS MUST BE MET TO PRODUCE AN ACCEPTABLE
RECYCLED COOLANT:
r APPEARANCE / ODOR of the waste coolant must have the distinct and characteristic appearance
and odor of antifreeze/coolant.
DO NOT process if the waste coolant contains any non-antifreeze contaminants such as oil,
gasoline, solvents, etc.
DO NOT process if waste coolant appears milky or is excessively foamy.
r FREEZE POINT of waste coolant must be at least -5 0 F or lower. Coolants with freeze points from
-4 0 to +32 0 F do not contain sufficient ethylene glycol.
r pH of waste coolant must be at least 8. Use supplied pH test strips.
WASTE COOLANT WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE ABOVE STANDARDS SHOULD NOT
BE RECYCLED and should be disposed of according to local, state and federal regulations.
