Maintenance
Checking Coolant Level - Perkins Only
To Prevent Scalding Do NOT Remove
Radiator Filler Cap when Engine is Hot!
z When the engine is cold open the radiator filler cap cover
and undo the radiator cap.
z If the coolant level is more than 20 to 25mm from the bottom
of the filler neck add coolant.
Draining Cooling System
z Ensure the engine is cold and undo the radiator cap cover.
z Undo the hose clip on the bottom radiator hose and pull the
hose off the radiator.
z Remove the radiator cap and allow the coolant to drain into
a suitable container.
z Refit the bottom hose and tighten the clip.
Refilling Cooling System
z Ensure the engine is cold.
z Add coolant to the radiator until the coolant level is just
below the filler neck, allow time for the coolant to settle
adding coolant as required.
z Start the engine and allow it to reach its operating
temperature. When the water is hot in the radiator header
tank and all trapped air has been expelled, stop the engine,
allow to cool, and top up the coolant level.
z Replace radiator cap and lock radiator cap cover in position.
z Start the engine and allow it to run for 5 to 10 minutes.
z Allow the engine to cool down and recheck coolant level.
Top up coolant as required.
z The coolant level should be 20 to 25mm below the bottom
of the radiator filler neck.

Cleaning
Avoid Spraying Electrical Equipment with Pressure Washers
z Clean the dumper thoroughly, this will make it easier to find
oil leaks and loose fittings etc.
z Take care to clean the oil, fuel and water tank filler necks.
z Drain plugs should also be cleaned.
z Using water or a pressure washer to wash down the exterior
of the dumper with or without detergent is generally all that
is required.
z When cleaning the dumper it is preferable to use a
biodegradable cleaner. Do not use solvents or like products
which can damage rubber and plastics.
Contaminated Water / Fluids / Oils Must Be Disposed of Safely
