COLD WEATHER OPERATION

PRECAUTIONS FOR LOW TEMPERATURE

If the temperature becomes low, it becomes difficult to start the engine, and the coolant may freeze, so do as follows.
FUEL AND LUBRICANTS
Change to fuel and oil with low viscosity for all components. For details of the specified visicosity, see
"RECOMMENDED FUEL, COOLANT, AND LUBRICANT (PAGE 4-10)".
COOLANT
Antifreeze is toxic. Be careful not to get it into your eyes or on your skin. If it should get into your eyes or on your skin, wash
it off with large amounts of fresh water and see a doctor at once.
When changing the coolant or when handling coolant containing antifreeze that has been drained when repairing the radiator,
please contact your Komatsu distributor or request a specialist company to carry out the operation. Antifreeze is toxic. Do not
let it flow into drainage ditches or spray it onto the ground surface.
Antifreeze is flammable. Do not bring any flame close. Do not smoke when handling antifreeze.
NOTICE
Use Komatsu Supercoolant (AF-NAC) wherever available, or use permanent type antifreeze coolant.
Never use methanol, ethanol, or propanol-based antifreeze.
Do not use any water leakage prevention agent, either alone, or in combination with antifreeze.
Do not mix one brand of antifreeze with a different brand.
When using Komatsu Supercoolant (AF-NAC), there is no need to use a corrosion resistor. For details, see "CLEAN INSIDE OF
COOLING SYSTEM (PAGE 4-26)".
For details on the amount of antifreeze mixture and on when to change the coolant, see "CLEAN INSIDE OF
COOLING SYSTEM (PAGE 4-26)".
