Cooling system - combined hydraulic oil-
water cooler
7.8.3.1
Checking the coolant level
Check the coolant level daily before starting, with the
machine parked on level ground. To do so, use the
sight glass (36/2) of the combined cooler. If the
coolant level is insufficient, top up accordingly.
Danger of scalding
due to hot coolant getting into contact with
skin or eyes.
• Only open the cooler cap after the engine
has cooled down.
•
Remove the cover (36/1) and top up coolant if
required. With the engine cooled down, the
compensation tank should be half full.
Attention
Refill with a 50%-50% mixture of water and
antifreeze.
7.8.3.2
Check the level of antifreeze
Before the beginning of the cold season, the
antifreeze protection must be checked.
•
The antifreeze is factory-set to approx.
minus 25 °C.
If temperatures are lower, the level of antifreeze
must be adjusted accordingly.
