Maintenance Engine and hydraulics cooling system The oil and water radiator is located in the engine compartment, behind the engine. The water radiator cools the diesel engine, and the oil cooler cools the hydraulic oil of the travel and operating hydraulics. The coolant reservoir is also located in the engine compartment, in front of and above the oil cooler.
Immediately rinse with clean water and seek medical assistance! Caution! Do not mix the coolant with other coolants. ☞ Only use the coolant prescribed by Wacker Neuson – see chapter 5.19 Fluids and lubricants on page 5-35. BA 901/1101 en – Edition 2.1 * 91101b510.fm...
