Check and Change of Coolant

Check of Coolant

Remove the radiator cap and check that the coolant
reaches the filler neck and is clean. If the amount of
coolant is insufficient, top up.
Do not open the radiator cap if the engine is hot. Otherwise, hot steam can cause serious
burns. Wait until the engine has cooled down sufficiently.

Change of Coolant

1. Set the heating tap to the open position, open the drain
tap.
2. At the same time, open the radiator cap.
3. For thorough cleaning, rinse the cooling circuit with
running water.
4. Close the tap and fill the radiator with coolant, i.e.
a mixture of water and an anti-corrosion inhibitor or
antifreeze solution.
5. Start the engine and let it run for about 5 minutes,
check the fluid level again and top up if necessary.

Antifreeze

Frozen coolant can damage the engine.
Flush the radiator before changing the antifreeze.
Mix the antifreeze solution according to the instructions of the antifreeze brand and according to local
climatic conditions.
Replace the solution in the cooling circuit.
If the solution is lost due to evaporation or overflow, top up in the original mixing ratio.
If engine coolant gets on your skin, it may cause skin irritation. Wash skin thoroughly with
soap and water or hand cleanser.

Check of Radiators for Clogging

After working in a dusty environment, check the radiator fins for clogging. If they are clogged, clean the
radiator fins with compressed air or water.
Important: Water or air under high pressure
can distort the cooling fins on the radiator and thus
reduce the efficiency of the radiator.
