B4 - CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE WINDSCREEN
WASHER LIQUID
- Lift up the cabin (See chapter : INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS in
paragraph : 2 - DESCRIPTION).
- Open filling cap 1 (Fig. B4).
- Check visually the level.
- If necessary add windscreen washer liquid by filler port 2 (Fig. B4).
B5 - CHECK THE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check the electrolyte level in each cell of the battery. If the truck is working in
a high temperature environment, check the level more frequently than every
50 working hours service.
- Lift up the overhead guard or the cabin (See chapter : INSTRUMENTS AND
CONTROLS in paragraph : 2 - DESCRIPTION).
- Remove caps 1 (Fig. B5) from each cell of the battery.
- The level is correct when it is 1 cm above the top of the plates in the battery.
- If necessary, top up the cells with clean distilled water that has been stored
in a glass container.
- Clean and dry caps 1 (Fig. B5) and refit in place.
- Check the terminal connections and lightly smear them with petroleum jelly
to prevent the formation of verdigris.
Handling and servicing a battery can be dangerous, take the following
precautions :
- Wear protective goggles.
- Keep the battery horizontal.
- Never smoke or work near a naked flame.
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- In the event of electrolyte being spilled onto the skin or splashed in the
eyes, rinse thoroughly with cold water for 15 minutes and call a doctor.
B6 - CLEAN THE RADIATOR CORE
- Lift up the cabin (See chapter : INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS in
paragraph : 2 - DESCRIPTION).
So as to avoid the clogging of the radiator core, clean it by means of a
compressed air jet directed from the front to the back (Fig. B6). This is the
only way to efficiently remove impurities.
When handling straw, grains or cereals, clean the radiator core every day.
