AGRI fARMER 26.6 wATER RADIATOR / OIl
- attEntion -
These operations must be carried out when
the engine is cold.
Radiator grill cleaning
Radiator grills (fig.48/D Pos.”1”), cooling fans (fig.48/D Pos.
“2” – fig.49/D Pos.”1”) and the air recirculation grills (fig.50/D
Pos.”A”,”B”,”C”,”D”,”E”) must be kept as clean as possible to
maximise heat exchange between the radiator and the cir-
culating air. To remove impurities, use a low pressure air jet
directing it from the inside towards the outside. Then pass
the jet of air on the inner parts covered with dirt. If dirt is
particularly compact, soften it with a low pressure water jet
before using the air. Remove any dirt that has accumulated
in the conveyor of the fan motor with compressed air and a
cloth wet cloth that does not leave residue.
- attEntion
Consult the engine operation and maintenance handbook be-
fore using jets of air or water.
- attEntion
Heat exchange flaps are very delicate. Do not use rags or
brushes to clean them. Jets of water and air must be di-
rected horizontally.
Cooling liquid level check
During normal vehicle use the radiator water reservoir
(fig.51/D Pos.”1”) must always be at level. The level is cor -
rect when the water is just above halfway (fig. 51/D Pos. “A”).
Verification of the correct level of cooling liquid must be car -
ried out as follows:
1. Stop the vehicle on a flat surface.
2. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key, hang up
a sign in the cab that reads “maintenance work under way”.
3. Slowly turn the radiator reservoir cap (fig. 51/D Pos.”2”)
counter-clockwise until reaching the safety pin.
4. Discharge pressure and steam.
5. Remove the cap.
6. Check the coolant level. If necessary, top up using a mix-
ture of water and antifreeze.
7. To reinsert the cap follow these steps in the opposite order.
- attEntion
If frequent top ups are necessary in normal working condi-
tions, verify that there are no cooling system leaks. Contact
a diEci after-sales centre if problems arise.
- attEntion -
Use demineralised water to fill the cooling system. Cal -
careous water may cause incrustations and premature
system ageing.
