shut down the engine. If the water temperature of engine is
high, wait the water temperature to drop to below 50℃.
● Observe the liquid level of expansion tank, which shall be
near the midline. If it is not enough, more water shall be
added.
● Open the radiator cap from the view hole at the rear top of
the engine cover, and the cooling liquid level shall reach to
the bottom of filling neck of water tank of the radiator; and Figure 3- 10
complement the cooling liquid if it is not enough. (Figure
3- 9,Figure 3- 10)
● After checking, fasten down the radiator cap to prevent the
cooling liquid from evaporating.
The radiator cap shall not be opened when the engine stops just for a moment or it is running,
if not, the hyper-thermal cooling liquid will spewing out and it is very dangerous.
Warning When opening the radiator cap, it shall be covered with a piece of cloth and shall be opened
slowly.
15
● Fill the clean water into the cooling system to be the normal
water level.
● Start the engine, speed up the engine gradually, and
continue to make the engine in idle running for 5 minutes
under the condition that the water temperature is over 85°C.
● Shut down the engine, and discharge the cooling water after
the water temperature is below 50°C. If the discharged
water is still dirty, it shall be continued to wash until the
clean water is discharged. Switch off the water drain valve Figure 3- 12
after all water is discharged.(Figure 3- 12)
● Fill antifreezing solution until the cooling liquid level
reaches to the bottom of filling neck of water tank (or
expansion tank) of the radiator.
● Start the engine, make the liquid level drops slightly, and
then shut down the engine and re-supply the antifreezing
solution.
Don’t use the detergent with corrosivity for the cooling system, or the aluminium units
will be damaged.
Warning The cooling liquid is poisonous, so it shall be avoided from touching children and pets.
If the cooling liquid is not continued to be used any more, is shall be treated according
to the local environmental protection regulations.
3.3.8.3. Notes
● The antifreezing solution is required to be the cooling liquid for the machine. When the machine leaves from the
factory, the antifreezing solution has been filled into the radiator. When the machine is operated under normal
conditions, the antifreezing solution is required. Don’t use rainwater, tap water or river water to replace it, or the
diesel engine or radiator will be damaged prematurely.
● When the temperature is under 0℃, the antifreezing solution may not be discharged. If under the urgent situation,
the antifreezing solution must be replaced with the ordinary water temporarily, all water drain valves must be
switched on to discharge all cooling water and to prevent the machine from being frosted cracking.
● When the temperature is over 30℃, the engine shall be placed in the shady and cool place because it is easy to
overheat.
● After operation, in order to prolong the service life of engine, the engine must be operated at low speed for 5
minutes and shall be stopped after the water temperature drops.
16
● Before repairing the electrical system, remove the negative (-) Figure 3- 13
electrode of the battery to prevent the flowing of
current.(Figure 3- 13)
● Electric circuits and fuses
Check the circuit connectors for presence of looseness, check wire rubber insulations for presence of
damage, and check the fuses for secure and tight assembling. In event of dysfunction of any circuit, firstly
check the fuse of the circuit for burnout. During replacement of fuse, ensure to find out the burnout cause of
the fuse and further check for bulb burnout and circuit damage.
The fuses are located within the cab. During replacement, please notice the capacities (amperes) on the fuse
tubes and clamps.
● Lamps and instruments
Check the switches of all lamps for normal functioning. Thoroughly remove the dirt from the lamps.
Press the horn button to check for normal sounding of horn.
The pointers of the instruments shall be within green zone under normal status.
3.4.2. Maintenance for battery
● When recharging the battery, if handle the battery incorrectly, then there is the risk of battery explosion. So
the procedure for recharging the battery should be in line with required process and instruction, and also
obey the following points.
17
● Recharging for the battery should be done in a place with good ventilation. Take out its top cover, by doing
so hydrogen scattering and explosion can be prevented.
● Set the recharging voltage according to the voltage requirement for the battery to be recharged. If the
recharging voltage is wrongly set, then it will cause the recharger getting too hot or fire and also possibly
explosion.
● Connect the positive (+) clamping-terminal of the recharger with positive pole (+), and negative terminal
(−) with negative pole (−). And fasten their connection.
● If the recharging ratio is less than 1/10, then you have to make rapid-recharging and set it within the battery’s
rated capacity. If the recharging current is too much, then it may cause electrolyte leakage or evaporation,
which will possibly cause fire or explosion.
3.4.4. Drive Unit
● Break down the torque converter, transmission, drive axle main drive, and wheel reducer for checking after
2,000 working hours of the machine. During cleaning, check the drive system for presence of abnormal
“splash” or "creak" sound.
● During the replacement of this filter element, drain the internal impurities and oil dirt, disassemble the filter,
take out the filter element, replace with new filter element, and assemble the upper cover.
● Drive shaft
Check the mounting bolts of connectors for looseness, check the vibration status of the shaft end, and check
spline part for looseness.
During the disassembling and assembling of the drive shaft, notice the relative position of the universal
joints on two ends and ensure the aligned arrows during assembling.
● Wheels
Check the tire inflation pressure as well as the tires surface for wear status.Look for any metal partials
embedded in tires. Check the mounting nuts on the wheel rims. Checking should be done while the machine
is cold. Normally the tire inflation pressure should be a little bit lower when machine operating in a sandy
area than when machine operating on hard-ground.
After 2000 hours, check the welding seams on wheel rims and also check the parts which are loaded. Correct
any deformation that may occur to the case.
3.4.5. Maintenance for Tyres
● If the tyres explode, the explosion itself will throw the wheel hub, tyres, driving axle and other components
500m or more far away from the machine. And explosion and its partials will cause server damage and
healthy injury, so the tyres pressure must be maintained at normal pressure range. Never inflate the tyres
beyond its rated pressure range.
● During traveling, the heat produced due to high-speed machine traveling will cause the tyres pressure arising
to some extent, which is the normal case, please don’t attempt to reduce the tyres pressure. What you should
do is to reduce the machine traveling speed or just stop the machine to have the tyres cooling down. However,
if the machine keeps moving at very high speed continuously, which will cause the tyres being overheated,
then tyres explosion will be led, so attention should be given.
18
● When adjusting tyre pressure, keep away from the tyre
as far as possible. And you should always stand at the
back of the tyre.
● It it prohibited to inflate the tyres with combustible gas.
It is recommended to use dry Nitrogen. If the tyres have
already been filled with air, you can also use Nitrogen
for pressure adjustment purpose, and Nitrogen can be
well mixed with air. Inflating tyres with Nitrogen can Figure 3- 15
possibly reduce the risk of tyres explosion, since
Nitrogen doesn’t help combust but can prevent the
rubber oxidation and deterioration and avoid rust for
wheel hubs.
● In order to avoid tyres being over inflated, it is
necessary to have proper tools to be used for inflating
tyres with Nitrogen and relative training on how to use
these kind of tools.
● Check tyres and wheel hub. Don’t operate the loader
when the tyre pressure is very low. And also check if
there are any cracks or deformation on the tyres.
● Check the mounting screws and bolts on the wheels to
see if they are securely fastened as required by the
manufacturer.
● During checking the wheels, don’t make any access to
the steering wheels, both in the front and in the back.
Such checking should be done from the wheel sides.
When you need to remove one of the wheel, other
wheels should be blocked with wedges.(Figure 3- 15)。
3.4.6. Working device
● After 2000 hours, the natural subsidence of the working mechanism should be checked.
Raise the main booms up to their utmost limit while the machine bucket is empty. Then stop the engine, be
sure descending length of the lift-cylinders should not be beyond 65mm within 15 minutes. If the descending
volume is too much (over 65mm), check the sealing performance for distribution value and lift cylinders
and measure the system working pressure.
3.4.7. Braking system
● Disc brake: Check the wear status for the brake friction plate and carry out air-bleeding for the system
periodically.
● Brake friction plates: Screw off the screw pin and remove the plate cover. The friction plate can then be
taken out. There are 3 ditches on the plate, which shows how much the plates are worn. If the ditches become
disappeared, the plate has to be replaced.
● Brake pedal:
The performance for braking pedal can only be checked while the machine is traveling. And also figure out
if the braking performance is only acting on one side.
Check the pedal clearance after the pedal has been trampled down, movement to its front end must be of the
clearance of 13 to 23mm.
19
● Booster pump: After working for 2000 hours , the booster pump should be dismantled and thoroughly
serviced.
● Parking brake:Engage the hand brake and check if the loader is under braking condition. If the braking
performance is not good or abnormal phenomena appears, please find out the reason and eliminate it. The
frictional lining and braking drum must be checked.
● Breather of afterburner cylinder: Turn on the cover of afterburner cylinder breather every week (should be
every day in dusty environment of long time operation). Take the filter element out for cleaning to avoid
danger of brake failure.
3.4.8. Air reservior
● Discharge the water from air reservoir every day, especially in winter. Ensure that the water draining valve
is closed before starting the machine.
If the brake pad is worn to the maximum limit, the ineffective braking will be really
Notice dangerous. When the wear of the brake pad is closing to the limit, check the brake
pad more frequently.
