2. Checking the coolant level
WARNING
T
o avoid personal injury or death:
• Place the machine on a firm, flat, and level
surface, lower the lift arms slowly to the
ground, and stop the engine.
• Do not open the radiator cap right after the
engine has been stopped. Serious burns can
occur from contact with escaping hot coolant
fluid.
• Check the coolant level in the recovery tank
only after the engine has cooled down.
• Remove the radiator cap only if absolutely
necessary.
1. Check
to see that the coolant level is between the
[FULL] and [LOW] marks of recovery tank.
When the coolant level drops due to evaporation,
add water only up to the full level.
In case of leakage, add antifreeze and water in the
specified mixing ratio up to the full level.
(1) Recovery tank (A) FULL
(B)
LOW
IMPORTANT :
• Do
not fill the recovery tank over the [FULL]
marking.
• Do not fill with dirty or salty water.
3. Checking the fuel level
WARNING
T
o avoid personal injury or death:
• Stop the engine and remove the key before
fueling.
• Do not smoke while fueling.
IMPORTANT :
• According to the temperatures, use the proper
diesel fuel as follows.
Temperatures Diesel fuel
Over -5 ℃ No.2-D diesel fuel
Under -5 ℃ No.1-D diesel fuel
• Make
sure that the fuel tank will not run empty.
Air will enter the fuel system, and must be
purged before restarting engine.
• Be very attentive to the remaining fuel for the
engine not to stall. If the engine stalls, it may
not restart for some time to protect the
emission purifying device.
• See Purging of the fuel system on page 108.
• To prevent condensation (water) accumulations
in the fuel tank, fill the fuel tank full before
parking overnight.
1. Turn the starter key to the [RUN] position.
2. Check the fuel level by the fuel gauge indicator.
(1) Fuel gauge indicator (A) Full
(B)
Empty
3. If
necessary, open the fuel tank cap with the starter
key and fill the fuel.
(See Fuel gauge indicator on page 31)
Fuel tank capacity 82 L
4. Checking the engine oil level
WARNING
T
o avoid personal injury or death:
• Stop the engine and remove the key before
checking the oil level.
IMPORTANT :
• Use the engine oil with the correct viscosity
according to the outside temperature.
• After stopping the engine and remove the key,
wait five minutes, then check the oil level. Park
the machine on level ground.
