A When draining fluids from the engine, place

some container underneath the engine body.

A Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a

drain, or into any water source.

A Also, observe the relevant environmental

protection regulations when disposing of

antifreeze.

If it freezes, coolant can damage the cylinders and

radiator. If the ambient temperature falls below 0 or

before a long-term storage, let out cooling water

completely, or mix fresh water with long-life coolant and fill

the radiator and recovery tank with the mixture.

1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several

types. Use ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.

2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the

radiator with fresh water and empty it again.

Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the

inside.

3. Mixing the LLC

Put the LLC in cooling water in the percentage (%) for

a target temperature. When mixing, stir it up well, and

then fill into the radiator.

4. The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze

differs according to the make of the antifreeze and the

ambient temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard,

more specifically also to SAE J814c.

A When the antifreeze is mixed with water, the

antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50%.

D At 1.013 x 10 Pa (760mmHg) pressure (atmospheric).

A higher boiling point is obtained by using a radiator

pressure cap which permits the development of

pressure within the cooling system.

5. Adding the LLC

(1) Add only water if the mixture reduces in amount

by evaporation.

(2) If there is a mixture leak, add the LLC of the same

manufacturer and type in the same mixture

percentage.

D Never add any long-life coolant of different

manufacturer. (Different brands may have

different additive components, and the engine

may fail to perform as specified.)

6. When the LLC is mixed, do not employ any radiator

cleaning agent. The LLC contains anticorrosive agent.

If mixed with the cleaning agent, sludge may build up,

adversely affecting the engine parts.

7. Kubota's genuine long-life coolant has a service life of

2 years. Be sure to change the coolant every 2 years.

A The above data represent industry standards that

necessitate a minimum glycol content in the

concentrated antifreeze.

A When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add

water only to keep the antifreeze mixing ratio less than

50%. In case of leakage, add antifreeze and water in

the specified mixing ratio before filling in to the

radiator.

BReplacing Radiator Hose (Water pipes)
