These operations are to be carried out as necessary, or every two years at the beginning of winter. Park the telescopic handler on level ground with the engine stopped and cold.

DRAINING THE COOLANT

-Open the engine cover.

-Remove the fixing rod (1) (fig. F1/1).

-Push forward the shroud (2) (fig. F1/2).

Filling The Liquid

-Retighten drain plug (3) (fig. F1/2) 15 ft. lb.(20 Nm) torque and drain plug (4) (fig. F1/3) 30 ft. lb.(40 Nm) torque.

-Slowly fill up the cooling system with coolant (see chapter: 6 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) to half way up the expansion tank 6 (fig. F1/4) through filler port (7) (fig. F1/4).

-Replace filler cap (4) (fig. F1/4).

-Replace the shroud (2) (fig. F1/2) with the fixing rod (1) (fig. F1/1).

-Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.

-Check for any leaks.

-Check the level and refill if necessary.

IMPORTANT: The engine does not contain corrosion protection and must be filled during the entire year with a mixture containing 50% ethylene glycol-based antifreeze.

-Place a container under drain plug (3) (fig. F1/2) of the radiator and drain plug (4) (fig. F1/3) of the engine block and unscrew the plugs.

-Remove filler cap (5) (fig. F1/4) of the expansion tank (6) (fig. F1/4).

-Let the coolant drain entirely while ensuring that the ports do not get clogged.

-Check the condition of the hoses as well as the clamping devices and change the hoses if necessary.

-Rinse the cooling system with clean water. Use a cleaning agent if necessary.
