Jokisch - Instructions for Jokisch Coolants

Before Use:

1. Remove existing coolant.
2. Flush system for 5-10 hours with Jokisch SR-X1 Cleaner at a mix of 1% into the existing coolant by volume to kill off bacteria and disinfect the tank.

During Use:

1. Check coolant with a refractometer twice a week to ensure proper concentration. When reading coolant mixtures, a clear defined line indicates a clean coolant and gives an accurate reading. A fuzzy line indicates high amounts of contaminants such as lube oils in the coolant, resulting in an inaccurate reading.
2. Skim tramp oils once a week. Use a non-emulsifying lubrication oil such as Interlube 68, or ESSO Febis K68 (in Canada) or Shell Tonna 68, in that order of effectiveness.
3. Remove micro-fines and chips once a month. Pump out coolant to empty drums once a month. Clean the tanks from accumulation of micro-fines and chips, and then pump the same filtered coolant back in. This is important when working with a variety of materials such as cast iron, aluminum, stainless steel and brass.
4. Aerate the tank once a week. Hold an air line into the coolant tank and aerate tank. This breaks the contact between the micro-fines at the bottom of the tank resulting in a reduction of the amount of dissimilar metal reaction.

After Use:

Over time, the base of your coolant reservoir may start to build up with possible contaminants such as heavy greases and metal fines. If a variety of metal fines build up and are not filtered or cleaned out of the coolant tank, an electro-chemical reaction can take place which will drop the pH value of the coolant. This process may result in potential rusting and higher bacterial growth.

For disposal, consult your local municipal/county regulations.
