Carry out the operations described previously as well as the following operations.

These operations are to be carried out if necessary 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.
