OPERATION 12.1.2 CHECK BEFORE STARTING 1. Turn the start switch ON. 2. Check that all the monitor lamps, the gauges, and the warning lamp light up for about 3 seconds while the alarm buzzer sounds for 1 second. Do not perform the checks using just the monitor; always perform the items specified for the periodic maintenance. CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL WARNING Always wait for the engine to cool down before checking the water level. When checking the water level, check the radiator overflow subtank. 1. Open the top cover at the front of the engine hood in the middle of the machine, and check that the coolant level is between the FULL and LOW marks on the sub-tank (1).
If the coolant level is low, add coolant to the FULL mark through the filler in the sub-tank. For complete coolant specifications See "20.6 COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 3-12 2. After adding coolant, tighten the filler cap securely. NOTE: If the sub-tank was empty or the volume of coolant added was more than usual, then check for possible leaks. Ensure that engine oil is not present in the coolant. WA450-3MC 2-39
