Operation
Radiator - check
Check the radiator (1) for leaks and debris (e.g. leaves).
If there is any dirt etc. on the radiators:
Open the engine hood (page 112).
Clean the radiator (1) from the engine side with a water jet or
with compressed air. Do not use high-pressure cleaners.
Close the engine hood and secure it with a padlock.
V-belt - check
Check the V-belt (1) for cracks and proper tension. It should be
possible to depress the V-belt for about 10 mm. Tighten the V-
belt (page 134).
Exhaust system leakage - check
Check the exhaust system for leaks and tightness (formation of cracks).
If the exhaust system is leaky or loose, the machine may only be taken into operation after repair.
Danger of cutting and crushing through rotating parts!
The rotating fans can cut into limbs and the rotating belt drive can pull in and crush limbs.
- Switch off the engine before working in the engine room.
- Ensure that the engine and all the engine parts have come to a complete standstill.
- Do not reach into rotating components.
The engine must be switched off and the key removed!
Do not attempt to grasp rotating or moving parts.
Risk of poisoning by inhaling engine exhaust gases!
When the engine is operated in non-ventilated and closed rooms, toxic engine exhaust gases accu-
mulate. The engine exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide – a colourless, odourless, and lethal gas.
- Only carry out the check in rooms if an exhaust gas extraction system is connected or the room
is well ventilated.
If the inspection is carried out when the engine is warm, there is a risk of burns in the exhaust system.
