4.3.1 Checking coolant level
Danger of overheating caused by a lack of coolant.
Insufficient coolant leads to deformation, stress cracking and leaks in the
cylinder head gasket.
The increase in pressure will cause the hoses to leak.
►
Always check the coolant level before operating the engine.
See the portable fire pump manufacturer‘s documentation.
4.3.2 Checking oil level
Information!
Your engine uses a dry sump lubrication system. Engine oil is pumped from the
engine into the oil tank while the engine is operating. When the engine is switched off, a portion of the
engine oil flows from the oil tank slowly back into the engine. Therefore inspect the oil level immediately
after switching off the engine.
Engine damage caused by a lack of engine oil.
A lack of engine oil will cause moving components in the engine to seize.
►
Always check the oil level before operating the engine.
See the portable fire pump manufacturer‘s documentation.
Engine damage caused by excessive engine oil.
If the quantity of engine oil is excessive, oil may enter the intake system
through the crankcase vent and damage the engine.
►
Check the oil level as described in the portable fire pump
manufacturer‘s documentation.
►
Measure the engine oil filling quantity before topping up the engine
oil.
