1.3.3 Cooling water

Use clean soft water and always be sure to add LLC (Long Life Coolant) in order to prevent rust built up and
freezing. (Do not use water only.)
The recommended LLC conform to the following specifications.
• JIS K-2234
• SAEbJ814C, J1941, J1034, J2036
• ASTM D4985
IMPORTANT:
• Always be sure to add LLC to soft water. In particular, in cold season, to add LLC is important.
• Without LLC,
• Cooling performance will decrease due to scale and rust in the cooling water system.
• Cooling water may freeze to form ice; it expands approx. 9% in volume.
• This causes serious damage in the cooling system.
• Be sure to use the proper amount of coolant concentrate specified by the LLC manufacturer depending
on the ambient temperature.
• LLC concentration should be 30%as a minimum and 60%as a maximum.
• DO NOT mix the different types of brand of LLC, otherwise harmful sludge may yield.
• DO NOT use hard water.
• Water should be free from sludge and/or particles.
• Replace the coolant every once a year.
