BAnti-Freeze

To avoid serious injury:

A When using anti-freeze, put on some protection

such as rubber gloves. (Anti-freeze contains

poison.)

A 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.

A When anti-freeze comes in contact with the

skin or clothing, wash it off immediately.

A Do not mix different types of Anti-freeze.

The mixture can produce chemical reaction

causing harmful substances.

A Anti-freeze

extremely

explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire

and children away from anti-freeze.

A When draining fluids from the engine, place

some container underneath the engine body.

A Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a

drain, or into any water source.

A Also, observe the relevant environmental

protection regulations when disposing of anti-

freeze.

Always use a 50/50 mix of long-life coolant and clean soft

water in KUBOTA engines.

Consult your local KUBOTA dealer concerning coolant for

extreme conditions.

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.

A When mixing the anti-freeze with water, the anti-freeze

mixing ratio is 50%.

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 coolant level reduces in the

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

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

cleaning agent. The LLC contains anti-corrosive

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.
