Place a container large enough for the quantity of liquid to be collected, under the radiator
drainage screw “4” (Fig. F4/4).
Unscrew the radiator drainage screw “4” (fig. F4/4) (in the lower part of the radiator) and drain
out the cooling liquid.
Clear the drainage opening of obstruction, if present.
Tighten the cooling liquid drainage screws present on engine “3” (Fig. F4/3) and on radiator
“4” (Fig. F4/4).

REMPLISSAGE DU LIQUIDE
Pour the cooling liquid through the opening in tank “5” (Fig. F1/5) up to the MAX. mark.
Refit cap “5” to close the tank (Fig. F1/5).
Start up the engine and run it for about one minute, changing the speed to release air bubble
from the cab cooling and heating system.
Switch the engine off and top up with cooling liquid to the MAX level in the tank.
The I.C. engine does not contain any corrosion resistor and must be filled during the whole year with a
mixture containing 25% of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze.

- Do not open the circuit under any circumstances as this would cause the coolant to be lost.
- The cooling circuit contains a gas which can be dangerous under certain conditions. This gas,
coolant R 134a, is colourless, odourless and heavier than air.
• If this gas is inhaled, take the victim into fresh air, give oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary and
call a doctor.
• If the gas is in contact with the skin, wash it immediately under running water and remove any
contaminated garments.
• If the gas is in contact with the eyes, rinse them in clear water for 15 minutes and call a doctor.
- The compressor has an oil level gauge (fig. F2). Never unscrew this gauge because it would
depressurizes the installation. The oil level is only checked when changing the oil in the circuit.
