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 viscosity.
For details, see "USE FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRI-
CANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
(234)"
WARNING
●
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 quantities of fresh water and
see a doctor at once.
●
Antifreeze is toxic. Be extremely careful when handling it.
When replacing coolant containing antifreeze or when
handling coolant when repairing the radiator, contact
your Komatsu distributor or ask your local antifreeze
dealer. Be careful not to let the water flow into drainage
ditches or spray on to the ground surface.
●
Antifreeze is flammable, so do not bring any flame close.
Do not smoke when handling antifreeze.
NOTICE
●
Never use methanol, ethanol or propanol based anti-
freeze.
●
Absolutely avoid using any water leak preventing agent,
weather it is used independently or mixed with an anti-
freeze.
●
Do not mix one antifreeze with a different brand.
For details of the antifreeze mixture when changing the
coolant, see "CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM
(254)".
REMARK
Where no permanent antifreeze is available, an ethylene gly-
col antifreeze without corrosion inhibitor may be used only for the
cold season. In this case, clean the cooling system twice a year
(in spring and autumn). When refilling the cooling system, add
antifreeze in autumn, but do not add any in spring.
For details of the antifreeze mixture when changing the
coolant, see "CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM
(254)".
