The intervals apply only to engines operating under normal conditions and
using fuel and lubricating oil that conform to the specifications given in this
handbook. If the engine is running in dusty or otherwise adverse conditions,
the maintenance intervals must be more frequent. Check also the maintenance
periods recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment in which the engine
is installed. If these intervals are shorter, you should observe them.

If there are local regulations affecting the operation of the engine, it may be
necessary to adapt the maintenance periods accordingly.
It is advisable to check for leakage and loose components at each service.
5.2 dRAINING ThE COOlING SYSTEM
1. Ensure that the engine is on level ground and that it has had time to cool
down.
WARNING
Never drain the coolant while the engine is still hot and the system Is under
pressure. This Is dangerous and could cause injury from discharged coolant.
2. Remove the filler cap of the cooling system.
3. Remove the drain plug from the side of the cylinder block (there are two possible
locations; see
Figure 5.2
) in order to drain the engine. Ensure that the drain
hole is not restricted.

4.Open the tap or remove the drain
plug at the bottom of the radiator
in order to drain the radiator. If the
radiator does not have a tap or a
plug, disconnect the hose at the
bottom of the radiator.
5. If necessary, flush the system with
clean water.
6. Fit the drain plugs and the filler cap.
Close the radiator tap or connect
the radiator hose.
