PARTS NEEDED

No parts needed for this program

ACTION REQUIRED

1) Place the machine on firm, level ground. Ensure personnel are clear of the machine.

2) Check the coolant level and oil levels are acceptable to start and run the machine.

3) Start the engine and run at high idle for 10 minutes.

4) While the engine is still at high idle, operate the machines hydraulic implements, regularly stalling them to cause load on the engine. Do this for 5 minutes.

5) Run at high idle for an additional 10 minutes.

6) Lower the engine to low idle and switch off the engine.

7) Inspect the area in Image 1 for any signs of coolant leaks. Be careful because the engine and surrounding components will still be hot.

8) Allow the engine to cool for 30 minutes and check the area in Image 1 once more for any signs of coolant leaks.

If no coolant leaks are found, return the machine back to service.

If any coolant leaks are found, take a clear photograph of the leak. Contact your dealer TC and ask them to create a Global Dealer Solution Network (GDSN) Product Health Service Request (SR) with the Situation of "Product Inquiry / Informational" and a Workgroup/Subsystem as "Engine". Add any pertinent photos and detailed information for the product group. Include CPI number 481278 in the CPI field and include the Program number in the description prior to submitting to AVSpare (Product Group Tier 2 analysis).
