8.10 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.
1) Open the engine hood.
2) The unlocking screw is to the right above the radiator. Unscrew this. ► The radiator
cap opens. The filler opening of the radiator is located under the radiator cap.
3) Open the radiator cap.
4) Fill radiators completely with coolant (observe mixing ratio antifreeze/water).
5) Close radiator cap.
6) Close radiator hatch.
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.
