45 MAINTENANCE
DAILY CHECKS
For your own safety and to assure the long life of your
machine, a careful check should be made before each
operation.
B
Checking Coolant Level
To avoid personal injury:
A
Move the excavator to even ground.
A
Make sure that the engine is turned off.
A
Do not open the radiator cap right after the
engine has been stopped; Serious burns can
occur from contact with escaping hot coolant
fluid.
A
Check the coolant level in the reserve tank only
after the engine has cooled down.
A
Remove the radiator cap only if absolutely
necessary.
1. Check to see that the coolant level is between the
"FULL" and "LOW" marks of a reserve tank.
2. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
water only up to the full level.
In case of leakage, add anti-freeze and water in the
specified mixing ratio up to the full level.
(See "Changing Radiator Coolant " in every 2 years
maintenance.)
A Do not fill the reserve tank over the "FULL" marking.
A
Do not fill with dirty or salty water.
B
Checking Fuel Level
To avoid personal injury:
A
Stop the engine and remove the key before
fuelling.
A
Do not smoke while fuelling.
A By temperatures over -5 (23 ), use No.2-D diesel
fuel, when temperatures are under -5 (23 ), use
No.1-D diesel fuel.
A Make sure that the fuel tank is not run empty. Air will
enter the fuel system, and must be purged before
restarting.

fuel tank, fill the fuel into the tank before parking
overnight.
