Coolant level. Checks
WARNING! Never open the pressure cap when
the engine is warm. Steam or hot fluid may
spurt out.
IMPORTANT! Check the coolant level on a cold
stationary engine.
Make sure the coolant level is approx. 5 cm (2") be-
low the top of the filler cap. Fill as necessary as de-
cribed below.
On TAMD122P, the coolant level can be checked on
a level glass located on the left and right-hand side of
the expansion tank.
Coolant. Filling
CAUTION! Stop the engine and allow it to cool
down before filling. Hot fluids and hot surfaces
can cause burns.
Topping up
Fill with coolant to the correct level through the filler
opening in the heat exchanger. Fill slowly so that the
evacuated air is able to pass through the filler open-
ing.
IMPORTANT! Use the same type of coolant
that is already in the system.
IMPORTANT! If the heat exchanger is empty,
the coolant must be filled according to the de-
scription “Filling the cooling system when emp-
ty”.
Filling the system when empty
1. Open the ventilation cock (1) by the turbocharger.
TAMD103: Remove the ventilation plug (2) on the
heat exchanger.
2. Make sure any other systems such as heater, wa-
ter heater, etc., connected to the cooling system
are also ventilated.
3. Fill with coolant through the filler opening in the
heat exchanger.
4. Fill slowly so that the evacuated air is able to pass
through the ventilation cock/cocks and the filler
opening.
