Anti-Freeze
CAUTION
• When using antifreeze, put on some protection such as
rubber gloves (Antifreeze contains poison.).
• If should drink antifreeze, throw up at once and take
medical attention.
• When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin or clothing,
wash it off immediately.
• Do not mix different types of Antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction causing
harmful substances.
• Antifreeze is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Keep fire and children away from
antifreeze.
• When draining fluids from the engine, place some
container underneath the engine body.
• Do not pour waste onto the grounds, down a drain, or into
any water source.
• Also, observe the relevant environmental protection
regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
If it freezes, coolant can damage the cylinders and radiator. If
the ambient temperature falls below 0 °C (32 °F) or before a
long-term storage, let out cooling water completely, or mix fresh
water with long-life coolant and fill the radiator and reserve tank with
the mixture.
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in several types. Use
ethylene glycol (EG) type for this engine.
2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill the radiator with
fresh water and empty it again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up the inside.
3. Mixing the LLC
Put the LLC in cooling water in the percentage (%) for a target
temperature. When mixing, stir it up well, and then fill into the
radiator.
4. The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze differs
according to the make of the antifreeze and the ambient
temperature. Refer to SAE J1034 standard, more specifically
also to SAE J814c.
