The engine is air-cooled and depends on the cylinder cooling fins to
dissipate heat. In dusty conditions the cooling fins may become
clogged or covered with dust, reducing engine cooling.
Remove the engine cover and inspect the engine cooling fins every
100 hours.
Remove dirt build-up using a brush and diesel fuel or kerosene. Dry
the engine using compressed air. Replace the inspection cover before
starting the engine.
The battery (a) supplied on this machine is a heavy-duty, lead acid
battery, rated at 12V, 160 Ah, BCI group 31. Check the level of the
electrolyte in the battery periodically and add distilled water as required
to keep the electrolyte at the correct level.
Keep the battery terminals clean and tighten them as required.
In cold weather, diesel engines must crank at a fairly high speed.
Maintain your battery at full charge and use a replacement battery with
the highest cold-cranking amperage available to improve your cold
weather starting capabilities.
