Problem Definition:
What: Engine Overheating quickly after 10 min of run
Where Mines.
When 01.09.2019.
How much Dozer stopped up to 9th of this month affected road development and dump work.
Major root causes of the problem
1 Mixing of mismatched coolants causes Sludging and sealing material erosion which blocks core.
2 Due to flushing of radiator with water jet in improper orientation to remove dust.
