ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULIC FLUID IS TOXIC AND MUST NOT
BE SWALLOWED.
FUEL
COOLING SYSTEM
It is important that cleanliness is always maintained in hydraulic
systems, therefore all fluids must be free from dirt or water
contamination. All filler caps should be cleaned before removal
and before replacement. It is recommended that paper wipes
are used in preference to rags.
Only use hydraulic fluid of the approved specification.
Check that sufficient diesel fuel is being carried.
Never fill the fuel tank to the brim of the filler neck,
particularly if the vehicle is to be parked after filling. N.B. cold fuel
from an under ground fuel storage tank will expand, particularly in
hot weather, and can cause loss of fuel through the filler cap.
DO NOT REMOVE THE FILLER CAP OR THE PRESSURE RELIEF
CAP FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM HEADER TANK WHEN THE ENGINE
IS HOT.
The coolant is under pressure and may blow out causing severe
scalding.
Check that the level of coolant in the header tank is up to the top
mark of the sight gauge.
IMPORTANT.
Always ensure that the filler caps and dipsticks are
replaced.
