Filling up
• Prepare the vehicle in the maintenance position.
• Open the engine hood.
• Slowly unscrew the filler cap “1” (fig. 150730-1)
counterclockwise until it reaches the safety latch.
• Exhaust the residual pressure and steam.
• Add the coolant up to the level of 30 mm (1.2 in)
below the cap.
• Put back the cap.
• Close the engine hood.
Coolant replacement
• Prepare the vehicle in the maintenance position.
• Open the engine hood.
• Remove the discharge sleeve "2" (fig. 150730-1) to
drain water from the radiator.
• Remove the filling cap “1” to speed draining.
• Allow the cooling system to completely drain.
• Rinse the radiator with clean demineralized water
introducing it from the filling cap "1" and making
it flow out from the orifice of the sleeve "2". If
necessary, add detergent.
• Check the condition of sleeves and their fittings,
replace them if necessary.
• Once cleaning has been completed, refit the drain
sleeve "2".
• Fill the cooling system from the filler cap “1” until
the level is 30 mm (1.2 in) below the cap with the
coolant previously prepared.
• Close the filler cap.
• Close the engine hood.
• Start the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.
• Make sure there are no leaks, check the level and
add more liquid if necessary.

10.11.1 - Hydraulic oil: Check and
replacement
The hydraulic oil tank is located under the cab, on the
right side “1” (fig. 150980-1).
The level can be checked through the transparent
scale placed on the right side of the vehicle "3".
The level is correct when the oil is visible from the
transparent scale "3" with all the cylinders of the
vehicle in the transport position.
NOTE
See the chapter "Technical data" to know the
amount and type of recommended oil.
Oil check
To keep the vehicle in normal operation conditions, it
is necessary to keep the oil level in best conditions.
To properly check the oil level in the tank it is
necessary to:
• Prepare the vehicle in the maintenance position.
• Make sure that all cylinders and jacks of the
vehicle are retracted (e.g. telescopic boom fully
retracted and lowered, attachment holding plate
tilted down as much as possible to avoid contact
with chassis or tires). In this way all the oil of the
hydraulic circuit will be sent in the tank.
• Check the oil level through the transparent
graduated scale "3" (fig. 150980-1). Under the
best conditions, the oil level reaches the middle
of the transparent indicator.
• If necessary:
– Remove the cap “2” (fig. 150980-1”) located on
the tank
– Add oil until the correct level is reached.
