(4) Long Life Coolant
To prevent the engine coolant freezing during the shipping period between leaving the factory and arriving at the
point of delivery, the cooling system is filled with Long Life Coolant as shown below, regardless of the season.
・ Use soft water (tap water) to prepare coolant.
・
Use Long Life Coolant concentration of at least 25% even in warm regions.
If the concentration is lower, the coolant will lose its anti-corrosive effect, leading to problems
from rust.
・
If the coolant level runs low while the engine is running, check the cause and make any
necessary repairs then add more of the same coolant to restore the concentration.
・
Do not mix with other types or brands of antifreeze or anti-corrosion additives.

(5) Batteries
Normally battery electrolyte does not freeze in cold weather, but if the battery charge is low, some freezing is
possible. A battery which has frozen is permanently unusable, so take precautions to maintain the battery
temperature.
8-2 Handling in summer
(541A-0070-2E)
Overheating can easily occur in summer, so pay attention to the following points.
(1) Cleaning and inspection of the cooling system
Overheating is more likely to occur when scale and corrosion build up in the cooling system.
Refer to "Cooling system" in the inspection and servicing section to clean the cooling system before summer starts.
Mud, dirt and insects etc. stuck to the core of the radiator will reduce its cooling performance, so make sure the
radiator is clean.
(2) Battery electrolyte inspection
Consumption of battery electrolyte is faster in summer, so increase the frequency of inspection and keep the
electrolyte level at the "UPPER" level.
