5. DRAINING AND FILLING

5.1 TOPPING UP BATTERY FLUID

Avoid sparks and open flames in the 

vicinity of batteries.

Battery acid is an aggressive fluid.

In the event of contact with the skin: 

rinse the skin with plenty of water for 

a sustained period. If redness or 

pain persists, consult a doctor. 

Remove any clothing affected and 

rinse with water.

In the event of contact with the eyes: 

rinse with plenty of water for at least 

15 minutes and consult a doctor.

If swallowed: do NOT induce 

vomiting. Rinse the mouth, drink two 

glasses of water and consult a 

doctor.

In the event of inhalation: get fresh 

air, rest and consult a doctor.

Topping up battery fluid
1.

Clean the top of the battery. If the top of the 

battery has acid on it, it should be rinsed with 

water.

2.

Remove the plugs and top up the batteries 

with distilled water to approximately 10 mm 

above the plates or up to the "max" indicator 

level.

5.3 DRAINING AND FILLING COOLANT

In order to avoid damaging the 

engine block, do not top up a warm 

engine with cold coolant.

Coolant is a toxic fluid and must be 

handled with care.

Protect skin and eyes.

Coolant is harmful to the 

environment; after use, it should be 

processed as industrial chemical 

waste.

When the coolant is hot, there is 

overpressure in the cooling system.

When removing the filler cap, allow 

the overpressure to escape by first 

loosening the filler cap one turn. 

Draining the cooling system
1.

Turn the heater temperature control knob to 

the maximum "hot" setting. 

2.

Remove the cooling system filler cap.

3.

Collect the coolant. To do this, place a 

suitable container under the drain point.

4.

Drain the cooling system at the radiator via 

drain plug B. 

5.

Flush the cooling system.

6.

Fit the drain plug (B).

Filling/venting the cooling system
1.

Turn the heater temperature control knob in 

the cab to the maximum "hot" setting.

2.

Fill the cooling system with the specified 

coolant up to the fill opening of the expansion 

tank.

3.

Start the engine and continue to top up the 

cooling system.

4.

The cooling system is self-bleeding. Venting 

will be audible during topping up. Continue 

topping up until venting is no longer audible.

5.

Close the cooling system and allow the 

engine to warm up until the thermostat has 

opened. 

6.

Stop the engine and check the coolant level 

on the transparent rear side of the expansion 

tank; add more coolant if necessary.
