ENGINE
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine, stop on level surface, set parking
brake, turn off machine, and remove key.
COOLING SYSTEM
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, avoid
contact with hot engine coolant. Do not
remove cap from radiator when engine is hot.
Allow engine to cool.
Check the radiator coolant level daily. Refer to the
coolant manufacturer for water/coolant mixing
instructions.
Check the radiator hoses and clamps after every
200 hours of operation. Tighten loose clamps.
Replace damaged hoses and clamps.
Check the radiator core exterior and hydraulic
cooler fins for debris daily. Blow or rinse (with low
pressure air or water) all dust through the grill and
radiator fins, the opposite direction of normal air
flow. Be careful to not bend the cooling fins when
cleaning. Clean thoroughly to prevent the fins
from becoming encrusted with dust. To avoid
cracking the radiator, allow the radiator and cooler
fins to cool before cleaning.
Flush the radiator and the cooling system after
every 800 hours of operation.
