S205 Skid-Steer Loader
Operation & Maintenance Manual 82
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Check the cooling system every day to prevent over-
heating, loss of performance or engine damage.
Cleaning
Figure 147
Open the rear door and raise the rear grill.
Use low air pressure or water pressure to clean the top of
the oil cooler (1) [Figure 147].
NOTE: Be careful when raising and lowering the oil
cooler so that the oil cooler does not fall on
the radiator and damage the fins.
Raise the oil cooler and use low air pressure or water
pressure to clean the top of the radiator (2) [Figure 148].
Lower the oil cooler.
Check cooling system for leaks.
Lower the rear grill and close the rear door.
WARNING
AVOID BURNS
Do not remove radiator cap when the engine is hot.
You can be seriously burned.
W-2070-1203
Checking Level
Open the rear door and raise the rear grill.
Figure 148
Remove the coolant fill cap (1) [Figure 148]. Check the
coolant level. The level markers are inside the tank.
Coolant must be at the bottom marker when the engine is
cold; top marker when hot.
Close the rear door before operating the loader.
IMPORTANT
AVOID ENGINE DAMAGE
Always use the correct ratio of water to antifreeze.
Too much antifreeze reduces cooling system
efficiency and may cause serious premature engine
damage.
Too little antifreeze reduces the additives which
protect the internal engine components; reduces the
boiling point and freeze protection of the system.
Always add a premixed solution. Adding full strength
concentrated coolant can cause serious premature
engine damage.

IMPORTANT
Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury when any
of the following conditions exist:
• When fluids are under pressure.
• Flying debris or loose material is present.
• Engine is running.
• Tools are being used.
