Engine related inspections and routine
maintenance
9. Engine oil level
Check the engine oil level with the dipstick. To get correct
result with the dipstick
• Park the loader on level surface
• Allow the engine to cool down and the oil level settle
before you check the oil level
• Push the dipstick all the way in to get the correct
reading.
If the engine oil level is not in between the markers on the
dipstick, add a small amount recommended grade motor
oil to the engine, allow oil level to settle, and check level
again. Do not add too much oil to the engine, as it can
damage the engine.
10. Coolant level
The cooling system of the engine uses a pressurized
radiator and a reservoir tank.
Check that the radiator is filled with coolant. The reservoir
should be kept about half full. Never open the radiator
if the engine is hot! If necessary, add only 50% mixture
of glycol antifreeze and clean water to prevent internal
corrosion of the engine.
The coolant
reservoir is located
in the engine
compartment.
Never open the pressurized radiator,
when the engine is warm. Hot coolant
may burst out causing serious burns.
Allow the engine to cool completely
before opening.
11. Water in fuel
There is a water separator
connected to the fuel lines.
If water is visible in the cup,
drain it by turning a small
plug on the bottom of the
water separator. Collect the
water and dispose as used
oil. Close the plug tight.
12. Air filter element
The engine air filter prevents
dust and dirt from entering
the engine. In dusty
operating conditions it may
be necessary to clean the
air filter element between its
scheduled replacement.
1. Squeeze the rubber vent on the filter housing cover to
drain water and dirt from the filter.
2. Wipe the outer surface of the air filter housing clean
before opening the filter.
3. Remove the filter cartridge
4. To clean the filter, tap the closed end of the filter gently
against a flat, clean surface. Never use compressed
air to clean the filter!
5. Do not remove the inner element.
6. Clean the inner components of the filter housing with a
damp cloth
7. Reinstall the filter cartridge and sealing. Ensure
theproper tightness between the filter and housing
cover.
Never attempt to clean an the air
filter element with compressed air.
The air filter gets damaged easily,
allowing dust particles to enter the
engine and cause wear.
Avoid engine wear and damage -
Never operate the loader without a
correct air filter cartridge fitted.
Do not remove the internal
air filter element. It is
intended to prevent debris
from entering the engine
during the replacement of
the air filter element.
