OPERATION
2.
Check that the coolant level is between FULL and LOW
marks of reservoir tank (2).
When the coolant level is between FULL and LOW
marks
The coolant level is proper. Close reservoir tank in-
spection cover (1).
When the coolant level is below LOW mark
The coolant is insufficient. Add coolant.
REMARK
The coolant may overflow from the reservoir tank
drain hose. This is no problem. It occurs because too
much coolant has been added.
3.
After refilling with coolant, tighten the cap securely.
4.
Check reservoir tank (2) for abnormality.
If reservoir tank (2) is empty, leakage of coolant should be suspected.
5.
If reservoir tank (2) has abnormality, repair it immediately.
6.
Check the coolant level in the radiator.
7.
If the coolant level is low, add Non-Amine Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) of the same density as Non-Amine
Engine Coolant (AF-NAC) in the radiator, and then add it to reservoir tank (2).
For detail, see "METHOD FOR CLEANING INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM (4-19)".
8.
After adding the coolant, close reservoir tank inspection cover (1).
METHOD FOR CHECKING OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE OIL PAN, ADDING OIL
Immediately after the engine is stopped, its parts and oil are still very hot, and may cause burn injury.
Wait for the temperature to go down, and then start the work.
Check the oil level either before engine start or at least 15 minutes after the engine stops.
If the machine is inclining, make it level before checking.
When the ambient temperature is low, water or emulsified matter may stick to the dipstick, oil filler cap, etc. or
the drained oil may be milky white because of water vapor in the blowby gas. However, if the coolant level is
normal, it is not a problem.
Prepare a container to catch drained oil.
1.
Open the engine side cover on the left side of the machine.
2.
Open the cap of oil filler port (F).
3.
Pull out dipstick (G) and wipe off the oil with a cloth.
4.
Insert dipstick (G) fully into the dipstick pipe and pull it out.
