Engine Oil Inspection; Cooling Water Inspection - Shindaiwa DGW500M Owner's And Operator's Manual

7-1. Engine Oil Inspection

Caution: Burn
• Always be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool before inspecting or
changing the engine oil. Opening the oil gauge or oil plug during operation will
result in hot oil spurting out.
Situate the equipment on a level surface
and completely insert the oil gauge to
inspect the oil level.
Inspect the oil level before starting
operation and, if it has decreased, fill with
oil until it reaches the maximum level.
<Note>
• The oil level cannot be accurately
checked if the equipment is at an angle.
• Operating the equipment when the oil
has been filled above the maximum level
can result in engine cylinder internal
damage.
■Engine Oil Selection
Use a diesel-type engine oil with a viscosity that is appropriate for the outdoor air
temperature (refer to the table).
<Note>
• Use oil with a quality of CF class or better (API classification / CJ excluded).

7-2. Cooling Water Inspection

Caution: Burn
• Never open the radiator cap during operation or immediately after stopping the
equipment. Hot cooling water and steam will spurt out.
Check that the sub tank cooling water level is within the range of "FULL" and
"LOW".
If the cooling water level is lower than "LOW", add water to both the sub tank and
radiator.
