7.6.13 Cooling system
NOTE
Lack of coolant can cause malfunctions
XThe coolant level should be between the “MIN” and “MAX” markings on the
expansion vessel.
XIf the coolant is below the MIN marking, this indicates possible leakage in the
radiator system.
XDo not continue using the truck.
XThe truck may only be started again once the cause has been removed.
CAUTION!
Hot coolant can cause injury
XAllow the engine to cool down sufficiently to prevent hot gases/liquids from
escaping when the filler cap is opened.
Checking the coolant level
Procedure
• Park the truck securely on a level surface.
• Open the rear bonnet locks and lift off the
rear bonnet, (see "Opening the rear panel"
on page 154).
• Check the coolant level on the expansion
vessel (172).
• Fit the rear cover (173) and snap it back into
position.
NOTE
The incorrect coolant can cause
malfunctions
XTo prevent the build up of lime as well
as front and corrosion damage in the
radiator system, and to raise the boiling
point temperature of the coolant, the
cooling circuit must be filled each year
with a mixture of water and anti-freeze
with anti-corrosion additives.
XCoolant can only be checked and added
by experts.
