1-1 Machine Identification 1-1
Machine Identification Plate
Your machine has an identification plate X mounted on the loader tower as shown. The serial
numbers of the machine and its major units are stamped on the plate.
The serial number of each major unit is also stamped on the unit itself. If a major unit is replaced
by a new one, the serial number on the identification plate will be wrong. Either stamp the new
number of the unit on the identification plate, or simply stamp out the old number. This will prevent
the wrong number being quoted when replacement parts are ordered.
The machine and engine serial numbers can help identify exactly the type of equipment you have.

2-5 Coolants 2-5
Castrol heavy duty coolant
Use ethylene glycol antifreeze diluted with coolant blend as mentioned below in the following
proportion in (radiator) cooling system:
Ambient temperature
Deg. Centigrade
Ratio by volume of antifreeze to
cooling water - blend
+ 50° to –20°
-20° to –40°
-40° to –69°
33 : 67
50 : 50
68 : 32
Water quality requirements for use as engine coolant
Water used in engine coolant should be of drinking quality with following limits:
Parameters Maximum allowable limit
Total hardness
Total dissolved solids
Chlorides (cl)
Sulphates (so4)
170 ppm (measured as caco3)
340 ppm
50 ppm as cl
100 ppm as so4
Water of above defined quality along with use of additives shall ensure trouble free operation of cooling system .
Additives for cooling system should serve the following objectives:
?? Protect cooling water system against corrosion.
?? Keep waterside heat transfer surfaces clean and free of scale and corrosion deposits. This maintains
designed heat transfer efficiency and prevents overheating of engines.
?? Be compatible with rubber hoses and other non-metallic parts of the cooling water.
It is recommended to drain the system after every 1200 hrs. Or 6 months whichever is earlier
and refill the radiator with the same proportion of the coolant and water.

thoroughly in warm soapy water. Do not use
petrol, diesel fuel or paraffin to clean your skin.
1 Remove drain plug C and discard the 'O' ring.
Drain the oil into a suitable container. Clean
and refit the drain plug with a new 'O' ring.
Tighten to 34 Nm (25 lbf ft).
2 Change the filter:
a Unscrew oil filter canister D.
b Clean the filter head E.
c Smear the new filter canister seal F with
engine oil.
d Screw in the new filter canister - hand tight
