22.1 Contamination in the engine compartment
Risk of fire due to dirt deposits in the engine compartment!
A mixture of dust, oil and plant residue inside the engine compartment is a source of fire and
presents an increased fire hazard.
• Always keep the engine compartment clean.
22.2 Cleaning the Engine Compartment with Compressed Air
Eye damaged caused by flying dirt particles!
When cleaning with compressed air, dirt particles are ejected at high speed.
• Keep people away from the working area.
• Wear suitable work clothes when performing cleaning work with compressed air (e.g. eye
protection).
When necessary, blow away the dirt and contamination and wipe off oil deposits.
22.3 Engine oil level
Engine damage due to excessively low or high oil level!
If the oil level is too low, the amount of oil in the engine is too low, the lubrication points in the
engine are not adequately supplied and there is a risk of engine damage.
If the oil level is too high, the engine or the exhaust gas after-treatment system may be
damaged
• Check oil level according to engine maintenance table, see chapter Maintenance-engine
"Maintenance table-engine".
• Check oil level only when machine is in a horizontal position.
• Do not start the engine if the oil level is below the bottom mark (min. mark) of the oil
dipstick.
• Drain or extract oil which has been topped up too much.
