Immediately after the engine is stopped, the engine coolant
is hot and the pressure inside the radiator is high. Removing
the cap and draining the water under this condition could
cause burns. Allow the engine to cool down.

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 anti-
freeze 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.
