PRECAUTIONS FOR LOW TEMPERATURE
If the temperature becomes low, it becomes difficult to start the engine, and the coolant may freeze, so do as follows.
FUEL AND LUBRICANTS
Change to fuel and oil with low viscosity for all components. For details of the specified visicosity, see "USE OF
FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (PAGE 4-8)".
COOLANT
Antifreeze
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
at
once.
When
changing
the
coolant
or
when
handling
coolant
containing
antifreeze
that
has
been
drained
when
repairing
the
radiator,
please
contact
your
Komatsu
distributor.
Antifreeze
is
toxic,
so
do
not
let
it
flow
into
drainage
ditches
or
spray
it
on
to
the
ground
surface.
Antifreeze
is
flammable,
so
do
not
bring
any
flame
close.
Do
not
smoke
when
handling
antifreeze.
NOTICE
Never
use
methanol,
ethanol
or
propanol
based
antifreeze.
Avoid
using
any
leak-preventing
agent,
regardless
if
it
is
sold
separately
or
in
antifreeze.
Do
not
mix
one
antifreeze
with
a
different
brand.
For details of the antifreeze mixture when changing the coolant, see "CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM
(PAGE 4-20)".
Use a Permanent Antifreeze (ethylene glycol mixed with corrosion inhibitor, antifoam agent, etc.) meeting the
standard requirements as shown below. With permanent antifreeze, no change of coolant is required for a year. If
it is doubtful that an available antifreeze meets the standard requirements, ask the supplier of that antifreeze for
information.
Standard requirements for permanent antifreeze
SAE J1034
FEDERAL STANDARD O-A-548D
REMARK
In areas where permanent antifreeze is not available, it is possible to use antifreeze whose main component is
ethylene glycol and does not contain any corrosion inhibitor. (Such antifreeze can be used for the winter season
only.) However, in such a case, the cooling water must be changed twice a year (spring and fall), so use permanent
antifreeze when possible.
