Maintenance
Cleaning the radiator fins of the oil/water radiator
Danger of burns! Do not carry out maintenance work on a hot engine and
hydraulic system!
☞ Wait at least 10 minutes after stopping the engine
☞ Wear protective gloves and clothing during maintenance work
Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the radiator's heat dissipation capacity and
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
☞ Do not damge the radiator fins as you clean them with
a compressed-air gun
☞ Clean as follows:
• Park the wheel loader on level ground
• Lower the loader unit fully
• Apply the parking brake
• Stop the engine and let it cool down
• Switch off ignition and remove the ignition key
• Open the engine cover
• Remove protective cover A
• Clean the radiator fins by blowing compressed air from either side of the radiator
• Remove dirt in the intake area of the radiator
• Install protective cover A
Fan bearing – Visco clutch
In order to avoid damage to the Visco clutch, engine and radiator, have the fan
bearing replaced every 2500 service hours by an authorised workshop!
