1. Coolant Level Inspection – Timely Refilling
Always check the coolant level against the indicator scale.
If it falls below the minimum mark, refill with the recommended coolant.
Refill only after the engine has cooled, topping up to the maximum level.
2. Scheduled Coolant Replacement – Based on Type
Different coolants have specific service intervals. Always follow the correct replacement cycle:
FD-1 / FD-2 Coolant: Replace every 24 months or 2,000 hours, or during major engine overhaul (whichever comes first).
BASF Coolant: Replace every 36 months or 3,000 hours, or during major engine overhaul (whichever comes first).
3. No Mixing of Different Brands
Mixing coolants from different brands can alter chemical properties.
Risks include corrosion, clogging, and severe engine damage.
Always use a single, approved coolant type for your machine.
Proper coolant maintenance is vital to preventing overheating, extending engine life, and minimizing repair costs. By consistently checking levels, replacing coolant on schedule, and avoiding brand mixing, you ensure stable performance and long-term reliability of your crane’s engine.
