Filling up coolant
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
☞ Fill up coolant as follows
• Park the machine on level ground
• Lower the loader unit
• Apply the parking brake
• Switch off ignition and remove the ignition key
• Allow the engine/cooling system to cool down
• Release the overpressure in the coolant expansion tank. To do this: open cap A to
the first notch and release the pressure
• Open filler cap A fully
• Fill up coolant to the MAX mark B
➥Use brand-name antifreeze compounds with anticorrosion additives –seeFluids
and lubricants on page 5-43
• Close filler cap A
☞ Check the coolant level
• Open the heating circuit fully
• Start and warm up the engine
• Stop the engine
• Check the coolant level again
➥If necessary, fill in coolant and repeat the procedure until reaching the correct
coolant level
• Check the cooling system and the heating water circuit for leaks
• Have leaks immediately repaired by an authorised workshop
