7 Maintenance
Cleaning the radiator on the outside
Burn hazard during maintenance on a hot engine and radiator!
Non-observance can cause serious burns.
► Wear protective gloves and eye protection.
► Let the radiator cool down at least 10 minutes after stopping the diesel
engine.
Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the radiator’s heat dissipation capacity
and can cause damage to the engine and the hydraulic system!
► Check and clean the outside of the radiator once a day.
► Clean the radiator more frequently in dusty or dirty work conditions.
► Do not clean in closed premises.
Observe the maintenance intervals – see “Maintenance plan” on
page 7-3.
1. Park the machine on level ground.
2. Lower the loader unit fully.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine and remove the starting key
5. Let the engine cool down.
6. Open the engine cover.
7. Clean the radiator fins by blowing compressed air from either side of
the radiator.
8. Remove dirt in the intake area of the radiator.
9. Check the firm position of the brush seal on the fan cowl. Have a sticky
or worn brush seal replaced by an authorized service centre.
In order to ensure the radiator’s cooling capacity, do not damage the
radiator fins as you clean them with a compressed-air gun!
