6-6
Maintenance of LLC
&$87,21
Should coolant or LLC be accidentally swallowed,
induce vomiting immediately and seek medical atten-
tion. If LLC should enter eyes, flush immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical attention.
LLC is toxic. Never dispose of coolant containing LLC
drained from engine into regular sewage. For disposal
of used coolant, consult your Mitsubishi dealer.
Replacement intervals of LLC
&$87,21
Be sure to renew LLC (coolant) at the intervals speci-
fied in this manual.
Failure to renew LLC may cause malfunctions due to
cavitation.
The coolant containing LLC recommended in this
manual should be renewed every 8000 hours or 2
years, whichever comes first, for a regular-use or gen-
eral-purpose engine.
LLC concentration
When determining the LLC concentration, provide a
margin of 5°C [9°F] below the expected lowest tem-
perature in your region.
LLC of less than 30% concentration does not provide
sufficient corrosion protection. If the LLC concentra-
tion is a few percentage points lower than 30%, it may
accelerate corrosion.
When adding coolant, do not add plain water. Always
use coolant with the same LLC concentration.
Note:
The concentration above is based on Mitsubishi genuine LLC “GLASSY long life coolant (Ethylene glycol
type)” or “PG GLASSY long life coolant (Non-amine type)”.
For determining the accurate LLC concentration, refer to the instructions for the LLC used.
