Changing the Radiator Coolant
Service Interval: Every 1,000 hours/Every 2 years
(whichever comes first)
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.
Note:
Use a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and water
for coolant.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, shut off the
engine, engage the parking brake, and remove
the key from the key switch.
2. Remove the fill cap

Note:
Never leave both caps off at the same
time. This will adversely affect the filling of the
tank.
4. Fill with coolant to the bottom of the filler neck.
5. 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 lining for wear or damage. If the
lining (brake pad) thickness is less than 1.6 mm
(1/16 inch), the brake lining should be replaced.
•
Inspect the backing plate and other components
for signs of excessive wear or deformation. If
any deformation is found, replace the appropriate
components.
•
Check the brake-fluid level; refer to
