Introduction
DESCRIPTION:
The Coolant Quick Changer is a time saving members of FTI’s family of coolant handling equipment. This
portable unit safely drains and refills automotive engine cooling systems in a portion of the time it takes for
conventional methods. When properly operated, this unit induces no air or pressure into the engine’s cooling
system. No hose cutting or tee is required - gravity and the engine’s own water pump perform the service.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY:
The user of a CQC2 is solely responsible for all environmental and safety concerns, or laws pertaining to the
use and disposal of antifreeze/coolant handled or produced by this equipment.
Do your part for the environment. Recover, recycle when possible, and dispose of wastes in a proper manner.
