 Anti-Freeze
WARNING
To avoid serious injury:
• When using anti-freeze, put on some protection such as
rubber gloves. (Anti-freeze contains poison.)
• If it is swallowed, seek immediate medical help.Do NOT
make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison
control or a health care professional. Use standard first aid
and CPR for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your
local Poison Control Center or your local emergency
number for further assistance.
• When anti-freeze comes in contact with the skin or
clothing, wash it off immediately.
• Do not mix different types of Anti-freeze. The mixture can
produce chemical reaction causing harmful substances.
• Anti-freeze is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Keep fire and children away from
anti-freeze.
• When draining fluids from the engine, place some
container underneath the engine body.
• Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
• Also, observe the relevant environmental protection
regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft water
in KUBOTA engines.
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
Premix 50 % LLC with 50 % clean soft water. When mixing, stir
it up well, and then fill into the radiator.
4. The procedure for the mixing of water and anti-freeze differs
according to the make of the anti-freeze and the ambient
temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard, more specifically
also to SAE J814c.
IMPORTANT
When mixing the anti-freeze with water, the anti-freeze mixing
ratio is 50 %.
