4.2.1 NOTES REGARDING THE ENGINE
4.2.1.1 ENGINE OIL
4.2.1.2 COOLANT
• Use only Komatsu Utility genuine spare parts.
• Do not mix different types of oil.
• Unless specified otherwise, the oils and the coolant used by Komatsu Utility to fill the tanks before the delivery of
the machine are the following:
ITEM SPECIFICATIONS
• Engine oil SAE 15W-30
API classification CD
• Hydraulic system oil SAE 10W
API classification CD
• Biodegradable hydraulic system oil
(Only for machines in which the synthetic biode-
gradable oil type HEES not of plant origin is used)
SHELL NATURELLE HFX-32
• Travel reduction gear oil SAE 85W/90
API classification GL5
• Swing reduction gear oil SAE 85W/90
API classification GL5
• Fuel Ambient temperature above -10°C:
ASTM D975 no. 2 diesel oil
Ambient temperature below -10°C:
ASTM D975 no. 1 diesel oil
• Radiator Permanent, ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, with cor-
rosion inhibitor for protection up to -36°C.
• The engine oil must be selected very carefully, since it lubricates the engine, which is the machine’s heart; the
main maintenance operations required for the engine oil are the following:
1 - daily check of the oil level;
2 - check of the oil pollution degree;
3 - periodical change.
• The coolant serves to keep the engine at the correct temperature and therefore to ensure optimal operating con-
ditions; check the coolant level in the expansion tank daily and top up if necessary.
• The coolant containing antifreeze is flammable; do not use naked flames near the coolant and do not smoke
while topping up.
