AVOID ANTIFREEZE / COOLANT FIRE HAZARD
Antifreeze/coolant is combustible. Direct contact with hot surfaces parts may cause the
antifreeze/coolant to burn. Repair leakage immediately and dispose of used antifreeze/coolant promptly
in accordance with government environmental regulation.
The cooling system for this machine is filled with LLC (long life coolant), which is KOBELCO genuine
antifreeze/coolant. Our genuine antifreeze/coolant protects the cooling system from harmful corrosives
while providing superior cooling performance necessary for emissions compliant engines for up to 2
years or 2000 hours of operation. Our genuine antifreeze/coolant also protects the engine from freezing
in cold climate regions. Use of coolant other than KOBELCO genuine antifreeze/coolant is not
recommended and may result in poor machine performance and damage to the engine and cooling
system. Our genuine antifreeze/coolant is specified for all machines operating in all regions including
areas where low temperatures or freezing is not normally expected.
BIO-DEGRADABLE OILS
USE OF BIO-DEGRADABLE OILS
When using Bio-degradable Oil (BIO OIL), refer to the following information.
1. There are two types of BIO OIL available; vegetable-based and synthetic-based. You are
recommended to use the synthetic-based type, because the vegetable-based oil has a maximum
usage temperature of 80 degrees C {176 degrees F}. Because of this, the degradation of
vegetable-based oil occurs more rapidly, and causes reduced service life.
2. Do not mix either type of BIO OIL with the original factory-filled mineral oil, in the case that you
do use BIO OIL, it is required to flush the hydraulic system that was filled with BIO OIL oil three
times.
3. If you use BIO OIL, slewing and propel parking brake performance will be reduced, because of the
lower friction factor of BIO OIL compared to that of mineral oil.
4. For further information about recommended Bio-degradable oil, please contact our dealer/distributor.
