8.2. Maintenance daily at least every 10 hours
8.2.1. Check engine oil level (1)
The oil lever should come between the max. and
min. marks on the dipstick (1). Adding oil should be
done through the oil filler cap (2). Stop the engine
and allow it to stand for a few minutes before
checking the level so that all the oil has had time to
run down into the sump. Oil quality is to be in
accordance with the table on before pages.
8.2.2. Check coolant level and radiator
fins and the front grille of the engine
cover (2)
The expansion tank (1) has a liquid level sign (2)
where the liquid level must be when it is cold. Hot
liquid level is higher.
IMPORTANT: The coolant pump is provided with a
drain hole underneath which must not be blocked.
On a new engine a certain amount of leakage can
occur before the pump has had time to run itself in.
8.2.2.1. Freezing point of coolant
Check the freezing point of the coolant at the
beginning of the cold season. If the freezing point is
too high, drain off some of the coolant and top up
with anti-freeze. Run the engine for a while until the
anti-freeze has been mixed in, then re-check the
freezing point of the coolant. Drain the cooling
system completely every second year and refill with
new coolant.
IMPORTANT: Never use just water as a coolant.
Ensure that a recommended coolant is always
used.
Service Cooling System Safely
Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling
system can cause serious burns.
Add make-up coolant through the recovery tank,
not directly to the radiator.
If radiator cap must be removed, do not remove
when engine is hot. Shut engine off and wait until
cap is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly
loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before
removing completely.
8.2.2.2. Check also radiator grilles and
clean if needed
When cleaning use air pressure, a water hose (not
pressure washer) or a soft brush (be careful not to
damage the cores). Direct the spray against the air
streaming direction.
If the tractor has the air conditioning, its condenser
can be moved sideways (by opening the locking nut
on the left) for making the cleaning easier.
Clean also the front grille of the engine cover.
