before you work on the cooling system.

Checking the Coolant Level
1 Make the machine safe with the loader arms lowered.
Refer to Prepare the Machine for Maintenance.
2 Open the right side engine panel.
3 Check that the coolant is visible in the header tank A.
The level should be at the cold MIN mark. If not,
continue with steps 4 to 6.
4 Close the engine cover. Top up the coolant system
through the filler cap. Access to the filler cap is
through a hole in the engine cover above the filler
cap.
5 Refit the filler cap and make sure it is tight.
6 Run the engine for a while to raise the coolant to
working temperature and pressure. Stop the engine
and check for leaks.
