Servicing the Engine-Cooling
System
Remove debris from the oil radiator/cooler daily. Clean
them more frequently in dirty conditions.
This machine is equipped with a hydraulically driven fan drive
system that automatically (or manually) reverses to reduce
radiator/oil cooler and screen debris buildup. While this
feature can help reduce the time required to clean radiator/oil
cooler, it does not eliminate the need for routine cleaning. You
must periodically clean and inspect the oil radiator/cooler.
1. Turn the engine off and raise the hood.
2. Clean the engine area thoroughly of all debris.
3. Clean both sides of the radiator/oil cooler area
61) thoroughly with compressed air.
Note: Start from the fan side and blow the debris out
toward the back. Then clean from the back side and
blow toward the front. Repeat procedure several times
until all chaff and debris are removed.
Important: Cleaning the radiator/oil cooler
with water can promote premature corrosion and
damage to components.

Brake Maintenance
Adjusting the Service Brakes
Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 25 mm (1
inch) of free travel of the brake pedal, or when the brakes
do not work effectively. Free travel is the distance the brake
pedal moves before you feel braking resistance.
1. Disengage the locking latch from the brake pedals so
that both pedals work independently of each other.
2. To reduce free travel of the brake pedals, tighten the
brakes:
A. Loosen the 2 mounting screws and remove the
brake-adjustment cover
(Figure
1. Mounting screws
B. Loosen the front nut on the threaded end of the
brake cable
