CAUTION
Danger of burning!
The engine and its detachable parts are hot during and immediately after
operation.
Before touching the engine or the detachable parts first allow these to cool
down.
5.2.3 Checking cooling water level
Work may only be carried out on the cooling system when the diesel engine has
cooled down. The machine must be parked on a level ground. The cooling water
level is examined directly at the radiator. The compensating tank only serves as
a buffer in order to take up water during expansion by the thermal effect and keep
it in the cooling circuit. The engine hood and the radiator hatch must be open, in
order to check the cooling water level.
The radiator must be completely filled. Coolant must be refilled, if the fill level is
too low.
A radiator anti-freezing agent must be used in frost-endangered areas. The
radiator has been filled in the factory with a radiator anti-freezing agent/water
mixture. This mixture is adjusted to a temperature resistance of up to -30°C.
2) Pull the dipstick out.
3) Wipe the dipstick with a dry, fibre-free rag.
4) Insert the dipstick up to the stop in its fixture.
5) Pull the dipstick out again and read the oil level. ► The oil level should be between
the two markings. More engine oil must be filled in, if the oil level is too low (only
use engine oils with the same viscosity).
DANGER
Risk of scalding!
The engine extremely heats up the cooling water. The radiator is under
pressure.
When opening the radiator cap the pressure can escape suddenly and the hot
cooling water can cause severe scalding!
► Never open the cap of the radiator when the engine is running!
► Wait until the motor has cooled down before opening.
