Carry out the operations described previously as well as the following operations.
F1 - COOLING LIQUID
DRAIN
These operations are to be carried out if necessary or every two years at the beginning
of winter. Place the lift truck on level ground with the I.C. engine stopped and cold.
DRAINING THE LIQUID
- Open the I.C. engine bonnet.
- Remove the shroud 1 (fig. F1/1).
- Set a container under drain valve 2 (fig. F1/2) on the radiator and drain plug 3 (fig. F1/3)
of the engine block and loosen them.
- Remove filler port 4 (fig. F1/4) from the expansion pan and open the heating control
to the maximum in order to ensure proper emptying.
- Let the cooling circuit drain entirely while ensuring that the ports do not get clogged.
- Check the condition of the hoses as well as the fastening devices and change the hoses
if necessary.
- Rinse the circuit with clean water and use a cleaning agent if necessary.
FILLING THE LIQUID
- Tighten the drain valve 2 (fig. F1/2) and drain plug 3 (fig. F1/3) (tightening torque 40
N.m).
- Slowly fill up the circuit with cooling liquid (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL)
up to the middle of the expansion pan 5 (fig. F1/4) through filler port 6 (fig. F1/4).
- Put back filling plug 4 (fig. F1/4).
- Run the I.C. engine at idle for a few minutes.
- Check for any possible leaks.
- Put back the shroud 1 (fig. F1/1).
- Check the level and refill if necessary.
The I.C. engine does not contain any corrosion resistor and must be filled during the whole year with
a mixture containing 25 % of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze.
