2. Remove the cap from the radiator (refer to Figure

7.2) and check the coolant level. If necessary, add

coolant.

Note
Refer to Chapter 2 for engine coolant specifi cations. The
need to regularly add fl uid indicates a leak that should
be corrected.

3. Tightly replace the cap.

Radiator
To inspect the radiator:

1. Inspect the radiator hoses and clamps for wear, leak-

age, or damage.

2. Make sure the hoses are not hardened, cracked, or

feel spongy.

3. Make sure the cap is in place and tight.

4. Check under the chassis for coolant that has leaked.

Coolant leaks are easily visible on the ground.

5. Make sure the radiator core and ventilation openings

on the cover are free of bugs, dirt, or foreign material

that might restrict airfl ow.

Fuel Tank

The fuel level gauge is behind the doors on the right side

of the chassis (refer to Figure 7.3). The gauge shows the

actual level of fl uid in the tank.

Figure 7.3 – Fuel Gauge

placing the fi lter, press the reset button to reset

the indicator disk.

If the indicator is clear, the fi lter is OK.

6. Shut off the engine.

Electrical System

Electrical power is supplied from a 550 CCA, 12 V bat-

tery. The battery is behind the doors on the right side of

the chassis, next to the fuel tank (refer to Figure 7.5).

The battery supplies 12 V DC electrical power to oper-

ate the aerial platform electrical and electrohydraulic

components.
