WARNING
q
Antifreeze is toxic. Be careful not to get it into your eyes or on your skin. If it should get into your
eyes or on your skin, wash it off with large amounts of fresh water and see a doctor at once.
q
When changing the coolant or when handling coolant containing antifreeze that has been drained
when repairing the radiator, please contact your Komatsu distributor or request a specialist company
to carry out the operation. Antifreeze is toxic. Do not let it flow into drainage ditches or spray it onto
the ground surface.
q
Antifreeze is flammable. Do not bring any flame close. Do not smoke when handling antifreeze.
NOTICE
q
If it is available, always use Komatsu super coolant (AF-NAC). If it is not available, use permanent type
coolant.
q
Never use methanol, ethanol, or propanol-based antifreeze.
q
Never use any water leak prevention agent, either alone or in combination with antifreeze.
q
Do not mix different brands of antifreeze.
For details of the antifreeze mixture when changing the coolant, see “CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM (4-
