3.3 Operation Operation Check coolant level, add coolant z Do not open the radiator cap unless necessary. When checking the coolant, always wait for the engine to cool down and check the sub tank. z Immediately after the engine is stopped, the coolant is at a high temperature and the radiator is under high internal pressure. If the cap is removed to check the coolant level in this condition, there is a hazard of burns. Wait for the temperature to go down, then turn the cap slowly to release the pressure before removing it. 1. Open the engine side cover on the right side of the chassis. 2. Check that the coolant level is between the FULL and LOW marks on radiator sub-tank (1).
If the coolant level is low, add coolant through the coolant filler of sub-tank (1) to the FULL level. 3. After adding coolant, tighten the cap securely. 1 4. If sub tank (1) is empty, check for coolant leakage, then check the coolant level in the radiator. If the coolant level is low, add coolant to the radiator, then add coolant to sub tank (1). GK015004 If the volume of coolant added is more than usual, check for pos- sible leakage. Confirm that there is no oil in the coolant. Check inflation pressure of tires Measure the inflation pressure with a tire pressure gauge while the tires are cool before starting work. Check for damage or wear to the tires and the rims.
Check for loose wheel hub nuts (bolts). The appropriate inflation pressure differs according to the type of work, see "Handling the tires (3-97)" 3-60 WA150-5H – VEAM934100 WARNING WARNING GK03218 1
