• ALWAYS be environmentally
responsible.

other governmental agencies for the
proper disposal of hazardous
materials such as engine oil, diesel
fuel and engine coolant. Consult the

local authorities or reclamation facility.

materials irresponsibly by dumping
them into a sewer, on the ground, or
into ground water or waterways.
• Failure to follow these procedures may
seriously harm the environment.
Engine coolant contaminated with rust or scale
reduces the cooling effect. Even when extended life
engine coolant is properly mixed, the engine
coolant gets contaminated as its ingredients
deteriorate. Drain, flush and refill the cooling
system with new coolant every 1000 hours or once
a year, whichever comes first.
1. Allow engine and coolant to cool.
