WARNING
Risk of burns due to hot components!
Components on the engine (e.g. engine block,
radiator, etc.) can be so hot that direct contact can
burn the skin and can burn or singe materials.
– Make sure that the engine and cooling system
have cooled down.
– Do not grasp or touch hot components.
– In the event of burns, seek first aid immediately.
– If materials are burning, take fire-fighting measu-
res immediately.
– Park the truck securely.
– Open the bonnet.

– Clean the radiator fins (1) on the radiator
with a suitable brush and blow them out
using compressed air (max. 2 bar).
– Check the radiator and coolant hoses for
leaks and tighten the clips if necessary.
CAUTION
In the event of a leak, there is a risk of engine
damage due to overheating!
A loss of cooling fluid from leaking coolant hoses or
from the radiator reduces the cooling capacity. The
engine may become excessively hot and severely
damaged.
– Tighten clips at leaking hose connections.
– Check whether the leakage has been eliminated.
If not, notify the authorised service centre.
– Close the bonnet.
