5 Maintenance
Cleaning the radiator fins of the oil/water radiator
Do not perform maintenance on a hot engine!
☞Wait at least 10 minutes after stopping the engine
☞Wear safety glasses and protective clothing
Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the radiator’s heat dissipation capacity.
This can cause damage to the engine and the hydraulic system.
☞Check the radiator once a day for dirt and clean it if necessary
☞Clean the radiator more frequently in dusty or dirty work conditions
☞Proceed as follows:
• Park the wheel loader on level ground
• Lower the loader unit fully
• Apply the parking brake with the switch on the instrument panel
• Stop the engine and let it cool down
• Switch off ignition and remove the ignition key
• Open the engine cover
• Clean the radiator fins by blowing compressed air from outside toward the engine side
In order to ensure the radiator’s optimal cooling capacity, do not damage the
radiator fins as you clean them with a compressed-air gun!
