A2 - COOLING FLUID LEVEL
CHECK
Place the lift truck on level ground with the engine stopped, and allow the engine to cool.
- Raise the engine cover (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- The fluid must be at the MAX level on the expansion tank 1 (fig. A2/1).
- If necessary, add cooling fluid (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) through the
filler port 2 (fig. A2/1).
- Visually check that there is no leakage in the radiator and pipes.
When the expansion tank is empty, check the level in the radiator before filling the expansion
tank.
- Slowly turn the cap of the radiator 3 (fig. A2/2) up to the safety stop.
- Allow the pressure and the steam to escape.
- Press down and turn the cap so as to release it.
- Add cooling fluid through the filler port (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL).
- Lubricate slightly the filler neck in order to facilitate the setting and the removal of the radiator
cap.
To avoid any risk of spraying or scalding, wait until the engine has cooled down before removing the
cooling system filler plug. If the cooling fluid is very hot, add only hot cooling fluid (80°C). In an emergency,
you can use water as a coolant. In such a case, the cooling system fluid should be changed soon as possible
(see 3 - MAINTENANCE: F – EVERY 2000 HOURS OF SERVICE).
A3 - FUEL LEVEL
CHECK
MI 15 D / MI 18 D
MI 20 D / MI 25 D
MI 30 D / MI 35 D
NOTE: The fuel level is shown by a fuel gauge.
Keep the fuel tank full, to reduce as much as possible any condensation due to the atmospheric
conditions.
- Remove cap 1 (fig. A3).
- Fill the fuel tank with clean diesel filtered through the filling port (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE:
LUBRICANTS AND FUEL).
- Put back the cap 1 (fig. A3).
- Visually check that there is no leakage in the tank and pipes.
Never smoke or approach with a flame during filling operations or when the tank is open. Never refill while engine is running.
The fuel tank is degassed via the filler plug. When changing it, always use an original part, with degassing hole.
