Checking fluid level (PDCC)

Checking fluid level

NOTICE
Aggressive fluids
* Risk of damage to components and surfaces


-> Do not spill fluids.
-> If a component comes into contact with the fluid, wash the component or surface with water.
-> Replace components that are already damaged.

Information
Overfilling the system can cause Pentosin CHF 202 to overflow onto coolant hoses and other components. The engine must be run for approx. 20 seconds prior to the fluid level check. Check the fluid level.

1. Open the front lid.
2. Unscrew reservoir cap.
3. The cap has a dipstick with a -MIN/MAX marking-. The fluid level must be between the two markings when the engine is stopped and cold (approx. 20 degrees C).





Markings on dipstick

4.2. Check the fluid level again.
4.3. Top it up again if necessary until the fluid level is between the two markings.

5. Fluid level above -MAX-:

5.1. Remove fluid using a clean fluid extractor.
5.2. Check the fluid level again.
5.3. Repeat the process until the fluid level is between the markings.
