• Check the coolant position in the expansion tank.
• If the water level is under LOW, allows the engine to cool off completely and add coolant ( page 93 ).
• Check the cooling system for leak. If necessary, inform the competent personnel.
• 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 ).
• Keep an eye on the fuel supply meter.
When the fuel tank is full, the needle will point up. When the fuel tank is
empty, the needle will point down.
If the “Fuel Supply” indicator light is lit up, there is only a little fuel in the
tank; fill up the excavator (
page 86 ).
NOTE
The needle will indicate the relative quantity of fuel in the tank. During the operation of the machine, the needle
will go down because fuel is being used.
NOTE
When the excavator is used on a slope, the quantity of fuel in the tank will be lower on one side. With a small
quantity of fuel in the tank, the fuel pump may not be able to supply enough fuel and the engine will stop. The
machine must be filled up and the fuel system must be vented.
NOTE
If the fuel tank is empty, the machine cannot be used. The machine must be filled up and the fuel system must be
vented.
Moreover, the engine must be turned off immediately if:
• The rpm suddenly increases or decreases;
• Abnormal engine noises are heard;
• The excavation technical facilities do not respond to the control levers as expected;
• The exhaust fumes are black or white. When the engine is cold, white smoke is normal for a short period of
time.
