USING THE MACHINE IN THE COLD SEASON 3
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN USING THE MACHINE IN THE COLD
SEASON
3
During the cold season or in areas where temperatures are particularly low, especially during the night, it is
necessary to take some countermeasures meant to limit any damage deriving from low temperatures.
Fuel and lubricants 3
Change fuel and oil with low viscosity products for all components. For details on the required viscosity, see
"MAINTENANCE NOTES (4-5)".
Coolant 3
WARNING
q
The antifreeze fluid is toxic. Avoid any contact with the eyes or the skin. In case of contact with the
eyes or the skin, wash with plenty of running water and consult a doctor without delay.
q
When changing the coolant or when collecting refrigerant containing antifreeze discharged during the
repair of the radiator, please contact your local Komatsu distributor or entrust the task to a
specialised company for disposal. Antifreeze is a toxic product. Do not dispose of the fluid in the
drainage channels or on the ground.
q
The coolant containing antifreeze is flammable; do not smoke and do not use naked flames during the
checks and when preparing the mixture.
1. Use only Komatsu original coolant antifreeze (AF-NAC) to dilute according to the minimum atmospheric
temperature indicated in the table in section "CLEANING OF THE COOLING SYSTEM AND CHANGING THE
COOLANT (4-80)".
2. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze.
3. If there are doubts about the coolant standard, refer to the Komatsu distributor to have more accurate
information.
Battery 3
WARNING
q
The battery produces flammable gas, therefore keep flames and sparks away from it.
q
The battery electrolyte is dangerous. In case of contact with the eyes or the skin, wash with plenty of
running water and consult a doctor without delay.
q
The battery electrolyte melts paint. In case of contact with the machine body, wash immediately with
water.
q
If the battery electrolyte freezes, do not charge the battery or start the engine with a different power
source, since the battery may explode.
q
The battery electrolyte is toxic, therefore it is important to avoid draining it in sewage systems or
contaminating the ground.
