 B.K. Waller Another construction season has passed by and now we start another season, Winter maintenance. This is a really busy time for all of the shops. We have all of the trucks and equipment to go through to get ready for the next construction season. This winter, I would like to get a few schools/seminars put together. In the past, we have had oil/anti-freeze schools and filtration schools. This year, I am putting together an air brake school to be put on by Bob Pollack from Bendix Air Brake systems. Bob is the head of the Bendix Tech hotline and a VERY knowledgeable person on air brake systems. I have wanted to put this school on for the last 2 years but it has taken a long time to get schedules to meet because Bob is in such high demand for these seminars. We have finally gotten together and come up with March 12, 2003, as our date. We will have the session in the big meeting room here in the Brooklyn office. The school will start at 9:00 a.m. and last until 12:00 noon. A lunch will be provided by Bendix after the class. If you would like to attend, please contact me here at Brooklyn Parts. I would like to see all of the sister companies represented, as well as personnel from all of the Manatt shops. If you have a specific topic or problem pertaining to air brakes you would like discussed at this meeting please, contact me so I can include it in our agenda. I hope to see you there. Footnote: I have been getting a few phone calls asking what kind of Anti-freeze we should be putting in different kinds of equipment. We should be converted to Old World Anti-Freeze Company wide by now. There are two different formula’s of anti-freeze we must use. Fleet Charge is one and Final Charge is the other. The following is just a rough guideline; if you have ANY doubts, please call me to confirm what formula to put in. FINAL CHARGE Cat equipment using ELC coolant (red) GM cars and trucks using DEXCOOL formula FLEET CHARGE Mack Cummins Detroit Engine Cat Engines 1997 and older This anti-freeze is the replacement for “Green” anti-freeze Again, if you have doubts as to which formula to use, please call me. These coolants must not be mixed together!
