Safety and Responsibility Dangers ➤ Never top up antifreeze (option ba) unless the machine is stopped and cooled down. ➤ Make sure that the ambient temperature at the machine's place of use is within permissible lim‐ its. Hot coolant The cooling system of a liquid-cooled engine at running temperature is under high pressure. If the filler cap is unscrewed, hot coolant can spray out under pressure and cause severe scalding.
➤ Do not eat or drink while handling fuel, cooling and lubricating fluids or antifreeze. ➤ Keep suitable fire extinguishing agents ready for use. ➤ Use only KAESER approved operating materials. Unsuitable spare parts ➤ Use only spare parts approved by the manufacturer for use in this machine. Unsuitable spare parts compromise the safety of the machine.
