Change Coolant
--- every 3000 hours or two years
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap (1) until
the coolant temperature in the radiator has cooled.
Hot steam and coolant may spout out, possibly causing
severe burns. After the coolant temperature cools,
slowly loosen the cap to release the inside pressure
before removing cap (1).
NOTE: Refer to page 7-69 for coolant specification. When
other than Kawasaki LLC is used, contact your nearest
Kawasaki dealer for the replacement interval.
1. Park the machine following the same procedures as
described on page 7-7 for preparation of inspection/
maintenance work.
2. Install articulation lock bar to the front and rear of the
chassis by following the procedures described on page
7-9.
3. Remove radiator cap (1). Open radiator drain cock (2)
and the engine water jacket drain plug to completely
drain the coolant.
4. Remove impurities such as scale at the same time. Use a
diesel engine coolant system flush kit for this.
5. Close radiator drain cock (2). Supply low impurity soft
water or tap water together with the specified LLC up
to the radiator filler port. When adding coolant, do so
slowly to avoid mixing in the system. Start the engine
and thoroughly bleed air from the cooling system.
6. After adding coolant, operate the engine for several
minutes. Check the coolant level again and add coolant
if necessary.
