MAINTENANCE
SERVICE PROCEDURE
CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM
WARNING
Soon after the engine has been stopped, the coolant is hot and the pressure inside of the radiator is high. Removing the cap
and draining the water under this condition can cause bodily burn. Allow the engine to cool, then slowly turn the cap to release
the pressure..
Cleaning is performed while the engine is running. When standing up or leaving from operator's seat, set the shift lever at N
position and parking brake valve lever at PARKING position.
See "OPERATIONS, CHECKS BEFORE STARTING (PAGE 3-68)", "STARTING ENGINE (PAGE 3-70)" in the section of
"Operation" for starting engine.
There is the danger of contacting with fan when the undercover is removed. Never approach the engine when the engine is
running.
Clean the inside of the cooling system, change the coolant and replace the corrosion resistor according to the table
below.
Antifreeze coolant
Interval of cleaning inside of cooling system
and changing antifreeze coolant
Replacing corrosion resistor
Komatsu supercoolant
(AF-NAC)
Every two years or every 4000 hours
whichever comes first
Every 1000 hours
and when cleaning the inside
of the cooling system
and when changing coolant.
Permanent type antifreeze
(All-season type, *)
Every year (autumn) or every 2000 hours
whichever comes first.
*: Permanent type antifreeze shall meet the requirements of ASTM D3306-03.
Stop the machine on level ground when cleaning or changing the coolant.
The coolant has the important function of preventing corrosion as well as preventing freezing.
Even in the areas where freezing is not an issue, the use of antifreeze coolant is essential.
Komatsu machines are supplied with Komatsu Supercoolant (AF-NAC). Komatsu Supercoolant (AF-NAC) has
excellent anticorrosion, antifreeze and cooling properties and can be used continuously for 2 years or 4000 hours.
Komatsu Supercoolant (AF-NAC) is strongly recommended wherever available.
To maintain the anticorrosion properties of Supercoolant (AF-NAC), always keep the density of Supercoolant
between 30% and 68%.
