5.6 Engine and hydraulics cooling system

The oil/water radiator is located in the engine compartment, behind the engine. It cools the diesel engine, and the hydraulic oil of the drive and work hydraulics.

The expansion tank for the coolant is located in the engine compartment next to the toolbox.

Checking/filling up coolant

NOTICE: Improperly maintaining the cooling system can cause engine damage.

z Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the radiator's heat dissipation capacity.

f Clean the outside of the radiator at regular intervals. Use oil-free

compressed air (2 bar max.) to clean. Maintain a certain distance to the radiator to avoid damage to the radiator fins. Refer to the maintenance plans in the appendix for the cleaning intervals.

f In dusty or dirty work conditions, clean more frequently than indicated

in the maintenance plans.

z An insufficient coolant level reduces the heat dissipation capacity as well

and can lead to engine damage:

f Check the coolant level at regular intervals. Refer to the maintenance

plans for the recommended intervals.

f If coolant must be added frequently, check the cooling system for leaks

and/or contact your dealer.

f Never add cold water/coolant if the engine is warm. f After filling the expansion tank, make a test run with the engine and

check the coolant level again after switching off the engine.

z The use of the wrong coolant can destroy the engine and the radiator.

f Add enough antifreeze compound to the coolant – but never more than

50 %. If possible use brand-name antifreeze compounds with anticorrosion additives.

f Observe the coolant compound table – see chapter 6.14 Coolant

compound table on page 6-15

f Do not use radiator cleaning compounds if an antifreeze compound

has been added to the coolant – otherwise this causes sludge to form, which can damage the engine.

Environment

Use a suitable container to collect the coolant as it drains and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner!

Maintenance

Important information for the use of biodegradable oil

• Use only the biodegradable hydraulic fluids which have been tested and approved by Neuson Baumaschinen GmbH. Always contact Neuson Baumaschinen GmbH for the use of other products which have not been recommended. In addition, ask the oil supplier for a written declaration of guarantee. This guarantee is applicable to damage occurring on the hydraulic components, which can be proved to be due to the hydraulic fluid.

• Use only biodegradable oil of the same type for filling up. In order to avoid misunderstandings, a label providing clear information is located on the hydraulic oil tank (next to the filler inlet) regarding the type of oil currently used! Replace missing labels! The joint use of two different biodegradable oils can affect the quality of one of the oil types. Therefore, make sure the remaining amount of initial hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic system does not exceed 8 % when changing biodegradable oil (manufacturer indications).

• Do not fill up with mineral oil – the content of mineral oil should not exceed 2 % in order to avoid foaming problems and to ensure biological degradability.

• When running the machine with biodegradable oil, the same oil and filter replacement intervals are valid as for mineral oil – see chapter 5.16 Maintenance plan 2001: overview on page 5-36.

• Always have the condensation water in the hydraulic oil tank drained by an authorized service center before the cold season. The water content may not exceed 0.1 % by weight.

• The instructions in this Operator's Manual concerning environmental protection are also valid for the use of biodegradable oil.

• If additional hydraulic attachments are mounted or operated, use the same type of biodegradable oil for these attachments to avoid mixtures in the hydraulic system.

Subsequent change from mineral oil to biodegradable oil must be performed by an authorized Wacker Neuson service center.
