Fill Left Rear Wheel with Liquid:
The Left Rear Wheel must be filled with liquid. Alamo Industrial recommends a Calcium
Chloride Water Mixture. The recommended Ratio of a 30 / 70 mix (30% Calcium Chloride and 70%
Water), this mixture will add weight at about 10.5 lbs per gallon. Follow the Mixture procedures
furnished by the Manufactured of the Brand of Calcium Chloride that you are using. It is also
recommended that a trained person installs the calcium Chloride. Calcium Chloride must be added
in addition to the Steel Wheel Weight and the Counter Weight that hangs on the Left Side. It is Not
recommended to use straight Water in the Wheel as this would not provide protection against freezing.
A 30/70 Calcium Chloride Water mixture provides antifreeze to approx -50 deg. F. below 0.
