F. When you move the crane, make sure that the coolant temperature is not more
than 203° F (95° C). If the temperature is too high, stop the crane to decrease
the coolant temperature.
In special conditions, you can open the engine hood to help decrease
the temperature. Make sure that the air conditioner is in the OFF
position.
G. Do not stop the engine immediately when the coolant is too hot. Stop the crane
and keep the engine ON at idle speed. Open the engine hood fully to increase
air flow at the same time. After the coolant is cool, you can continue to move
the crane.
If the coolant boils, do not stop the engine immediately. Permanent
damage to the engine can occur.
Do not directly face the water fill port when you remove the water cap.
Hot water can spray from the port.
H. If there is antifreeze in the expansion tank, fill it with distilled or deionized water
(instead of tap water).
Damage to the engine occurs if you put cold water onto the engine
when the temperature is too high.
I. Monitor the tire temperature and pressure while you move.
Do not put water on or deflate the tire if the pressure or temperature is
too high. Stop the crane in a cool area to lower the temperature and
pressure naturally. If you must go through water, make sure that the tire
temperature is in the correct range before you go.
