3. Replace the fill cap and remove the radiator overflow
tank cap
(Figure
62).
Note: Never leave both caps off at the same time.
This will adversely affect filling the tank.
4. Fill with coolant to the bottom of the filler neck. Do
not overfill. Replace the radiator overflow tank cap
and clean any spills.
Checking and Refilling the Radiator
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Note: Use a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and water for
coolant.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, set the parking
brake, turn the ignition off, and remove the key.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the
pressurized, hot coolant can escape and cause
burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap when the
engine is running.
• Allow engine to cool at least 15 minutes
or until the radiator cap is cool enough to
touch without burning your hand.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap,
and open the cap slowly to allow steam to
escape.
2. Remove the radiator overflow tank cap
3. If the coolant level is low, fill the tank with coolant to
the bottom of the filler neck.
Note: Do not overfill.
4. Replace the radiator overflow tank cap and clean any
spills.
Brake Maintenance
Inspecting the Brakes
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Brakes are a critical safety component of the machine. As
with all safety components, they should be closely inspected at
regular intervals to ensure optimum performance and safety.
The following inspections should be done every 100 hours:
•
Inspect the brake shoes for wear or damage. If the lining
(brake pad) thickness is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch), the
brake shoes should be replaced.
•
Inspect the backing plate and other components for signs
of excessive wear or deformation. If any deformation is
found, the appropriate components must be replaced.
•
Check the brake-fluid level; refer to
Brake-Fluid Level (page
