What happens here

Upon arrival at another site, the crew assesses a separate issue with a front loader (SDLG L918F) equipped with a large snow pusher. The operator reports that the machine intermittently loses power and 'dies,' particularly when stopped, indicating a potential issue with the cooling system. This leads to the decision to park the machine and troubleshoot it later in daylight.

Goal: Diagnose and manage a front loader experiencing engine power loss and potential overheating.

Tools and materials

  • Large Snow Pusher — Attached to the front loader
  • SDLG L918F Front Loader SDLG — Heavy equipment experiencing mechanical issues

that's it-it's tougher uh-huh all right now it's my turn to keep the iron [Music] they'll start beefing if it dies okay like right now [Music] like if I go on and I google them second you got your for your warning light they just start beeping again no I mean leaving the cow odd funny funny okay so you didn't turn it off that's just what it's doing all right let's just leave it off and let's uh let's just park it because I think it might be low on coolant it's gotta be shut itself shutting off so it's doing something before we fry something out at this point so let's uh let's just park it tilt the morning and we can get it fired up the reason I think it's the coolant is last time we drove it one of the Alex said that the heat didn't work and but the fan was still running and then the heat came back out hey roll that window up or flip that window up so that tells me coolant not a hundred percent sure but we'll see wait we can't add coolant to a hot engine now anyway there's nothing we could do till the engine cooled down and we got the right coolant for it but why would the coolant be low well I can just do that they can just be low enough that it's doing the warning signals just probably doesn't need much cooler I'm gonna guess it doesn't need a whole lot Jake just fire up the camp you'll be in good shape we'll keep going
