Carry out the operations described previously as well as the following operations.
F1 - COOLING LIQUID
DRAIN
These operations are to be carried out if necessar y or every two years at the beginning
of winter. Place the lift truck on level ground with the I.C. engine stopped and cold.
DRAINING THE LIQUID
- Lift up the overhead guard or the cab (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Disassemble the lower hose 1 (fig. F1/1) of the radiator.
- Unscrew the filler plug 2 (fig. F1/2) of the expansion tank and empty the latter.
- Remove the pre-filter 3 and the cover plate 4 (fig. F1/3).
- Remove filling plug 5 (fig. F1/4) of the radiator.
- Let the cooling circuit drain entirely while ensuring that the ports do not get clogged.
- Check the condition of the hoses as well as the fastening devices and change the hoses
if necessary.
- Rinse the circuit with clean water and use a cleaning agent if necessary.
FILLING THE LIQUID
- Reassemble the lower hose 1 (fig. F1/1).
- Slowly fill the circuit with the cooling liquid (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND
FUEL) through the filler port 6 (fig. F1/4).
- Fill the expansion tank to the maximum level.
- Run the I.C. engine at idle for a few minutes.
- Check for any possible leaks.
- Check the level and refill if necessary.
- Put back filling plug 5 (fig. F1/4).
- Reassemble the cover plate 4 and the pre-filter 3 (fig. F1/3).
- Retighten filler cap 2 (fig. F1/2).
The I.C. engine does not contain any corrosion resistor and must be filled during the whole year with
a mixture containing 25% of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze.
