2.11 After Operation

Check for the coolant temperature, engine oil pressure and fuel level.
Follow the procedures below to prevent the machine from falling into an unworkable
condition the following morning caused by muds and other extraneous matter on the drum, or
frozen drums:
1) Check to see if the engine coolant temperature is too high and the engine oil pressure is
not normal. Also check the fuel level.
2) Remove muds and water from the machine. Muds can get into the seals together with
water drops on the hydraulic cylinder piston rod. Damaged seals will result.
3) Park the machine on a hard and dry surface. If such a place is not available, cover the
ground with hard plates.
4) Low temperature will cause a significant reduction of battery efficiency. Cover batteries or
take them off the machine and store in a warm place for the following day's operation.
There is a danger of battery fluid leaking when removing the battery from the machine, so
take care not to tilt the battery when doing so.
5) To prevent freezing, drain water from the spray system (refer to water spray system on
page 68).
IMPORTANT
• Insufficient draining of water can cause damage to the machine.
• Do not wash clean with high pressure water around the instrument panel or
reverse side of the dash board. This can cause instrument failures.
