• Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the radiator's heat dissipation capacity!
To avoid this:
Clean the outside of the radiator at regular intervals. Use oil-free compressed air (2 bar
max.) to clean. Maintain a certain distance from the radiator to avoid damage to the radia-
tor fins. Refer to the maintenance plans in the appendix for the cleaning intervals.
In dusty or dirty work conditions, clean more frequently than indicated in the mainte-
nance plans.
• An insufficient coolant level reduces the heat dissipation capacity as well and can
cause engine damage! Therefore:
Check the coolant level at regular intervals. Refer to the maintenance plans in the
appendix for the intervals
If coolant must be added frequently, check the cooling system for leaks and/or con-
tact a Wacker Neuson service center!
Never add cold water/coolant if the engine is warm!
• The use of the wrong coolant can destroy the engine and the radiator. Therefore:
Add enough antifreeze compound to the coolant – but never more than 50 %. If pos-
sible use brand-name antifreeze compounds with anticorrosion additives!
Observe the coolant compound table
– see chapter 6.10 Coolant compound table on page 6-9.
Do not use radiator cleaning compounds if an antifreeze compound has been added
to the coolant – otherwise this causes sludge to form that can damage the engine.
• Once you have filled the coolant reservoir:
Test run the engine.
Stop the engine.
Raise the lock lever.
Remove the starting key.
Let the engine cool down.
Check the coolant level again.
Close and lock the engine cover
Environment!
Use a suitable container to collect the coolant as it drains and dispose of it in
an environmentally friendly manner!
