9. Place a funnel at the base of the radiator to channel
the drained coolant into the container. Open the
radiator petcock and drain the coolant into the
funnel. Transfer the fluid into a properly labeled
container. Dispose of properly if coolant needs to be
replaced. Close the radiator petcock.
10. Label, disconnect and cap all coolant hoses
attached to the radiator. Cap all fittings and openings
to keep dirt & debris from entering the cooling
system.
11. Label, disconnect and cap all hydraulic hoses
attached to the radiator. Cap all fittings and openings
to keep dirt & debris from entering the hydraulic
system.
12. Detach the fan safety shroud.
13. Remove the locknuts holding the isolator mounts at
the bottom of the machine.
14. Connect a lifting strap to the radiator/oil cooler and
carefully lift the radiator/oil cooler out of the engine
bay.
b. Radiator/Oil Cooler Installation
1. Install the isolator mounts to the bottom of the
radiator. Insert radiator through the machine frame
and secure to the radiator mount plate with new

7.5 ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The engine electrical system, including the starter,
alternator and primary wiring, is described in Section 9,
“Electrical System.”
7.6 FUEL SYSTEM
7.6.1 Diesel Fuel
Fuel represents a major portion of machine operating
costs and therefore must be used efficiently. ALWAYS
use a premium brand of high-quality, clean diesel fuel.
Low cost, inferior fuel can lead to poor performance and
expensive engine repair.
Note: Use only diesel fuel designed for diesel engines.
Some heating fuels contain harmful chemicals that can
seriously affect engine efficiency and performance.
