Maintenance
Checking the coolant level
The coolant expansion tank is located outside on the radiator sheet-metal separation at
the rear right.
Danger of burns! Never open the coolant tank and never drain coolant if the
warm engine is running since the cooling system is under high pressure!
☞ Wait at least 10 minutes after stopping the engine!
☞ Wear protective gloves and clothing
☞ Always actuate the safety valve first on the filler cap of the expansion tank.
To do this:
☞ Open the cap to the first notch and release the pressure
Check the coolant level every 10 service hours or once a day. Check before
starting the engine.
☞ Check the coolant level as follows
• Park the machine on level ground
• Lower the loader unit fully
• Apply the parking brake
• Stop the engine
• Switch off ignition and remove the ignition key
• Open the engine cover
• Check the coolant level in the expansion tank A
If the coolant level is below the MIN mark B of the expansion tank:
• Fill up coolant to the MAX mark B
☞ Check the coolant quality (antifreeze) with suitable testing equipment (antifreeze tester)
