Finish Thompson CQC-HD - Manual (Page 3)

Introduction
DESCRIPTION:
The CQC-HD ( Coolant Quick Changer-Heavy Duty) is a time saving member of FTI’s family of coolant
handling equipment. This portable unit safely drains and refills larger engine-cooling systems in a
fraction of the time it takes for conventional methods. When properly operated, this unit induces no air
and less than 5 psi pressure into the engine’s cooling system. No hose cutting or tee is required – the
CQC-HD fill pump and the engine’s own water pump perform the service.
