CAUTION: To help avoid being burned-
l
Do not open the engine access cover if you see or hear
steam or engine coolant escaping from the engine
compartment. Wait until no steam or engine coolant
can be seen or heard before opening the engine cover.
l
Do not remove the radiator cap or engine coolant
reserve tank cap if the engine coolant in the tank is
boiling. Also do not remove the radiator cap while the
engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and
steam can be blown out under pressure if either cap is
taken off too soon.
If no steam or engine coolant can be seen or heard, tilt the cab
or open the engine access cover. If the engine coolant is
boiling, wait until it stops before proceeding. Look at the see-
through reserve tank.
The engine coolant level should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reserve tank. If
necessary, pour engine
coolant into the reserve tank only,
never directly into the radiator.
Also, do not check engine
coolant level at the radiator.
Make sure the fan belts are not broken, or off the pulleys, and
that the fan turns when the engine is started.
If the engine coolant level in the reserve tank is low, look for
leaks at the radiator hoses and connections, heater hoses and
connections, radiator, and water pump. If you find major leaks,
or spot other problems that may have caused the engine to
overheat, do not run the engine until these problems have been
