1. Remove the coolant fill cap slowly to relieve any pressure.2. Inspect the condition of the cap gasket. Replace the cap gasket if necessary.3. Maintain the coolant above the low level plate.4. Install the radiator cap.Clean Outside of Folded Core Radiator
Pressure air can cause personal injury. When using pressure air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing and protective shoes.The maximum air pressure must be below 205 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Compressed air, high pressure water or steam can be used to remove dust, leaves and general debris from a folded core radiator. Clean as required by condition of radiator.The use of compressed air is preferred.Refer to "Know Your Cooling System," Form SEBD0518, for the complete procedure and instructions.Hydraulic System Oil
Look at the Oil Level
At operating temperature, the hydraulic tank is hot and under pressure. Hot oil can cause burns.Remove the fill cap only when the engine is stopped, and the cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. Remove the fill cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Never remove the cap from the implement hydraulic tank if oil is hot. Air can enter system and cause pump damage.
The hydraulic oil tank is located on the right side of the machine. Open the top access cover for fill tube access. Add oil through the fill tube to maintain the oil level to the FULL mark in the sight gauge.Pivot Shaft
Look at the Oil Level
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.
Maintain the oil within the limits of the sight gauge. Overfilling can cause hot oil to overflow the reservoir.Open the access cover to add oil. Remove the oil fill cap to add oil to the oil reservoir.Fuel Tank
Drain the Moisture and Sediment
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical components can cause a fire.
1. Open the drain valve and allow the moisture and sediment to drain.2. Close the drain valve.Tracks
Inspect for Proper Adjustment
Visually inspect the tracks. Check for wear and excessive dirt buildup on track components.If track appears to be too tight or too loose, see "Tracks" under Every 250 Service Hours or Monthly.Walk-Around Inspection
Inspect Machine
See "Walk-Around Inspection" in the 'Before Starting the Engine" section.Cleaning Windows
Use commercially available window cleaning solutions to clean the windows.Remove the rear window by lifting the latch and sliding the window to the full open position. Lift the window out of track to remove. Cleaning of rear window should be done from inside of cab.Indicators and Lights
Test and Inspect for Broken Gauges
1. Look for broken lights, indicator gauges or Electronic Monitor System (EMS) panel damage.2. Allow the engine to warm up at LOW IDLE for five minutes. To help speed the warmup of hydraulic components, engage and disengage all hydraulic implement controls. 3. Push the EMS Fault Light test switch. The warning horn should sound. The fault light and the EMS panel should FLASH, until the EMS test switch is released.4. If the lights or horn did not
