7.4.3.1 Coolant level in the engine cool-
ing circuit
Burns due to hot fluids and sur-
faces
• At operating temperature, the
engine cooling system is hot and
pressurized.
• Avoid touching coolant or parts
carrying coolant. There is a risk of
burns.
• Only check the coolant level if the
cap has cooled off enough for
you to hold it. Then turn the cover
carefully to first let the excess
pressure reduce.
In an emergency: Administer first
aid, seek treatment from a doctor
►
Check the diesel engine, fan and cooler for
damage. Clean if necessary.
►
If the coolant level is too low, the indicator
(259/14) lights up.
h Chapter 5.21 Monitoring the machine
during operation
►
Unscrew the protective cover (258/1).
►
Remove the cooling system sealing cover
(258/2) and check the coolant level.
►
The coolant must be up to the overflow
pipe.
►
After filling the cooling system, let the die-
sel engine run for a while with the heating
turned on. Then check the coolant level
again.
►
When the machine is delivered, the coolant
contains antifreeze protection to -35°C
(corresponding to a mixture of about 45%
antifreeze).
Antifreeze should be added throughout the
year every time the system is topped up.
