For the specified density, see “METHOD FOR USING FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE”.
COOLANT
WARNING
• Coolant
is toxic. Be careful not to get it into your eyes or on your skin. If it should get into your eyes
or on your skin, wash it off with large amount of fresh water and see a doctor immediately.
• When handling the cooling water containing coolant that has been drained during changing the
coolant or repairing the radiator, contact your Komatsu distributor or request a qualified company
to perform the operation.
Coolant is toxic, so never pour it into drainage ditches or drain it onto the ground surface.
NOTICE
Komatsu recommends the use of Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) as coolant.
Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) is already diluted with distilled water
, so it is not flammable.
For the density of Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC), see “METHOD FOR USING FUEL, COOLANT AND
LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE”.
