Maintenance
Checking the coolant level
• Park the machine on level ground
• Stop the engine!
• Raise the control lever base
• Remove the starting key and carry it with you
• Let the engine and the coolant cool down
• Open the engine cover
• Check the coolant level on the transparent coolant reservoir A and on the radiator B
☞ If the coolant level is below the LOW seam or if there is no coolant at the radiator’s
filler inlet:
➥ Adding coolant
Check the coolant level once a day.
We recommend checking it before starting the engine.
Adding coolant
After the engine has cooled down:
☞ Release overpressure in the radiator
☞ Carefully open cap B to the first notch and fully release the pressure
☞ Open filler cap B
☞ Add coolant up to the lower edge of the filler inlet (radiator)
☞ Close filler cap B
☞ Start the engine and let it warm up for about 5 – 10 minutes.
☞ Stop the engine
☞ Remove the starting key and carry it with you
☞ Let the engine cool down
☞ Check the coolant level again
➥ The coolant level must be between the LOW and FULL reservoir seams
☞ If necessary, add coolant and repeat the procedure until the coolant level remains constant
☞ Close and lock the engine cover
Do not mix the coolant with other coolants.
☞ Use only the coolant prescribed by Wacker Neuson – see chapter 5.17 Flu-
ids and lubricants on page 5-35.
Check the antifreeze every year before the cold season sets in
