8. COLD WEATHER OPERATION
8.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR LOW TEMPERATURE
If the temperature becomes low, it becomes difficult to start the engine, and the coolant may freeze, so do as follows.
[1] FUEL AND LUBRICANTS
Change to fuel and oil with low viscosity for all components.
For details of the specified viscosity, see “MAINTENANCE 3. USE OF FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS
ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE”.
[2] COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO IN COOLING WATER
Antifreeze is flammable, so keep it away from flames. Never smoke when handling antifreeze.
Antifreeze is added to the coolant to prevent the water from freezing when the machine is not being used.
NOTICE
Never use methanol, ethanol, or propanol-based antifreeze.
To prevent engine overheating, rust, corrosion or freezing in the cooling system, use a mixture of long life coolant with tap water
for engine cooling water.
The coolant serves anti-rust, anti-corrosion, and antifreeze. It should be used year around.
The coolant mixture ratio must be 30% or higher to ensure anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties.
[COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO]
Use the following table as a guide. The table shows examples when the amount of cooling water is "13 liters (3.43 US gal)
[2.86 UK gal]".
