WARNING

Do not open the radiator cap. Danger of being burnt!

•

Check the coolant position in the expansion tank.

•

Check the cooling system for leak, informing the competent personnel if necessary.

•

Check whether the V-belt is very loose or is cracked. If necessary, inform the competent personnel.

•

Check whether the cool air intakes in the side cover, the radiators and the oil cooler are clogged. If necessary,
clean the radiators (

page 94

).

With heavy loads on the machine, the coolant temperature may rise
somewhat higher than normal. The “coolant temperature” indicator light
will flash and a notification will show in the display as shown in the diagram.

The notification will disappear after a short period of time, but the “coolant
temperature” indicator light will continue to flash as long as the
temperature is elevated.

Only use the machine for lighter loads until the operating temperature is
normal again.

If the coolant temperature is too high, allow the machine to idle to cool off.
A notification will show in the display as shown in the diagram.

NOTE

Only turn the engine off after allowing the machine to idle for five minutes!
