What happens here
Inspect the coolant system by checking the clear coolant reservoir in the engine compartment for proper fluid levels, indicated by markings on the tank. Additionally, it is crucial to inspect the radiator for any accumulated debris, as dust and dirt can block the fins and lead to overheating. Regularly blow out or clean the radiator to maintain efficient cooling; some modern excavators are equipped with hydraulic reversible fans that automatically assist in cleaning the radiator at set intervals.
Goal: Ensure proper cooling system function by checking coolant levels and radiator cleanliness
