ACUSTRIP® Two-Way Truck Antifreeze Specifications
3002-C * 3002S * 3002RC
Please read instructions and safety information prior to using product.
Introduction
 The ACU3002 series two-way test strip offers superb accuracy in providing a total quality management system for
your engine.This test kit measures the concentration of antifreeze coolant inhibitors in
cooling systems. Fast and accurate results of nitrite and freeze point are easily determined. Recommended service
action is based on the engine and supplemental inhibitor manufacturers'
specifications. Regular testing of antifreeze coolant minimizes downtime
and its associated cost. Antifreeze coolant inhibitors depletion rate is
affected by variations in formulas, maintenance schedules, blow by gases,
topping off, and other atypical conditions found with the use of heavy duty
diesel and gasoline engines.

Procedures
Test antifreeze coolant before maintenance is performed.
The test strips should be used by the date on the packaging. For best results:
- Start with clean , dry hands and utensils.
- Run test in a well lit area, natural light if possible.
- Antifreeze coolant sample should be between 40° and 110° F.
- Follow the test procedure enclosed with the strips.
- Dip the reactive (pad) end of the test strip into the antifreeze coolant.
- Test again if drain 1/2 or drain all maintenance is performed.
- If the result falls between colors, select the block in between.
- Read the color of the test strip after one but not more than after 3 minutes. (The pad's color will change as the pad dries).
- Below 50° F read the color after 2 but before 5 minutes.
- Use the test strips by the expiration date on the bottle.
- Discoloration is caused by exposure for long periods above 100°F, direct sunlight, or leaving the bottle caps open for an extended period of time.
- Replace cap on the test strip bottle to protect from moisture.
- On occasion the dye in your antifreeze coolant may interfere with an exact match on the color chart. If this occurs, select the best match by color shade or depth. With practice, you will gain confidence and proficiency with the test strips.

SAFETY WARNING: REMOVAL OF RADIATOR CAP IS DANGEROUS
Radiators are under pressure. Hot coolant under pressure can cause severe burns.
Do not remove the radiator cap on a hot engine. Wait until the temperature is
below 50° Celsius (120° Fahrenheit) before removing the cap. Failure to wait may
result in personal injury from hot coolant spray or steam. Remove cap slowly to
relieve all pressure. |
Dispose of your used test strip with normal paper waste.
Dispose of your used antifreeze coolant in accordance with local regulations.
