MAINTENANCE
72
Engine Oil (See FIGURE 9.)
After the engine has stopped, wait one minute before
checking the oil level. Keep the oil at the correct level as
indicated on the dipstick. Use the correct oil as shown in
the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Drive Belts (See FIGURE 9.)
Check the drive belts for wear or damage.
Cooling System (See FIGURE 10.)
WARNING
DO NOT remove the radiator cap from the radiator
when the engine is hot. When the radiator cap is re-
moved, the pressure is released from the system. If
the system is hot, the steam and boiling coolant can
cause burns. DO NOT remove the cover for the radia-
tor when the engine is running.
Make sure the coolant level is between the FULL and the
ADD marks on the auxiliary coolant reservoir. The coolant
will expand as it is heated and the level in the auxiliary
coolant reservoir will increase. Add coolant to the auxiliary
reservoir if additional coolant is needed.
WARNING
Compressed air can move particles so that they cause
injury to the user or to other personnel. Make sure that
the path of the compressed air is away from all person-
nel. Wear protective goggles or a face shield to prevent
injury to the eyes.
Check the radiator fins. Clean the radiator with com-
pressed air or water as needed.
