COOLING SYSTEM

COOLING SYSTEM Service specification

Coolant reservoir level check..........................................................Every 10 hours or every day Coolant solution change................................................................Every two years or twice a year (autumn/spring) if antifreeze is used System capacity.......................................................................................45.5 litres

WARNING: Boiling coolant solution can spray out if the radiator cap is removed while the system is still hot. To remove the cap, allow the system to cool down, turn the cap to the first notch and wait until there is no more pressure. Then remove the cap.

WARNING: Check and service the cooling system according to the instructions given in this manual.

Coolant solution

Put only ethylene-glycol coolant solution in the cooling system. Use good quality ethylene-glycol that has a high boiling point, with no additives to prevent leakage. Do not use non-approved anti-rust additives. Anti-rust additives and ethylene-glycol can mix and work against each other, thereby reducing anti-corrosion protection, forming deposits in the cooling system and causing damage to the cooling system and radiator. Consult your CASE Dealer for suitable coolant solution.

Level

The level of coolant solution should be checked when the engine is cold. WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The system is still under pressure and you could be scalded.

CD01N026 On flat, level ground, before using the machine, (while the engine is still cold), the level in the coolant reservoir should be between the "FULL" (1) and "LOW" (2) marks. If not, see "Filling".

Draining

CD01N032

1. Remove the radiator cap.

CD00E103 2. Open the radiator drain valve. NOTE: Have a receptacle of a suitable capacity ready.

CD01N033 3. Open the drain plug located on the engine block. NOTE: Have a receptacle of a suitable capacity ready.

Cooling system (continued) Rinsing

1. Close the drain valve once the radiator is completely empty. Close the plug on the engine block. Fill the system with clean water. Install the radiator cap. 2. Start the engine. Run the engine at a speed slightly higher than idle speed for ten minutes to bring the engine temperature up to about 80°C. 3. Drain the system once more. 4. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 until the water drained is clear.

Filling

CD01N032 1. Fill with coolant solution via the radiator until overflowing and install the radiator cap.

CD01N026 2. Fill the expansion reservoir to the "FULL" mark and install the cap. IMPORTANT: Use the correct coolant solution. 3. Run the engine at idle speed for about five minutes. Add coolant solution if the level in the expansion reservoir drops. IMPORTANT: Do not fill the expansion reservoir above the "FULL" mark.
