OPERATION 12.1.2 CHECK BEFORE STARTING Always carry out the items in this section before starting the engine each day. CHECK MONITOR PANEL 1. Turn the starting switch to ON. 2. Check that all the monitor lamps, the gauges and the warning lamp light up for about 3 seconds and the alarm buzzer sounds for about 1 second. If any monitor lamp does not light up, ask your distributor to inspect the monitor lamp. Do not carry out the checks before starting using only the monitor; always carry out also the items specified for the periodic maintenance.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL, ADD COOLANT WARNING Always wait for the engine to cool down before checking the water level, and check using the radiator overflow sub- tank. 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 3-14 . 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. NOTE:
Confirm that engine oil is not present in the coolant. 2-37 WA320-3MC
