Checking the Cooling System
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti–freeze.
Check the level of coolant at the beginning of each
day, before starting the engine.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Coolant is hot and pressurized.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Discharge of hot pressurized coolant can
cause sever e burns.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Always allow the engine to
cool at least 15 minutes or until the
radiator cap is cool enough to touch
without burning your hand before
removing it.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower
the loader arms, and stop the engine. Remove
the key.
2. Allow the engine to cool.

Removing Debris from the
T raction Unit
IMPORTANT: Operating the engine with a
blocked or plugged radiator will result in
engine damage from overheating.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower
the loader arms, and stop the engine. Remove
the key.
2. Check for debris in the air filter pre–cleaner.
Wipe away debris before each use and/or during
use, if required.
3. Clean any debris from the engine with a brush or
blower before each use.
4. From the front side of the radiator, either spray
the radiator with a hose or blow with compressed
air.
IMPORTANT: It is preferable to blow dirt
out, rather than washing it out. If water is
used, keep it away from electrical items.
