So eyeball the coolant level in the expansion tank. You’ll fnd the tank behind the
cab on the leFt side oF the vehicle. Open the engine access door and you’ll see the
tank mounted next to the radiator on your right.
The coolant level should be between the LOW and ±ULL marks on the tank.
They’re a little hard to see because the marks are located on the part oF the tank that
Faces inward toward the access area.
It’s a good idea to mark the LOW and ±ULL marks with a permanent marker.
Extend the marks so the levels can be seen on the side oF the tank that Faces out
towards you. That does away with the guess work.
Just add coolant when the coolant level gets below the LOW mark.

Operators,
keep the fuel
tank strainer
in place when
you refuel
the vehicle.
Do not
remove it!
So play
it
safe!
Keep the
strainer
in place
when you
refuel.
The strainer keeps dirt and
crud from getting into the
fuel tank when refueling.
it also has an expansion
guide rod that allows for
fuel expansion.
The guide rod slides up
the strainer when its float
ball touches fuel.
it’s a quick way to show you
when to stop refueling.
Without the
strainer,
you could
overfill
the tank.
Talk about
a
mess!

keep coolant
between the
low
and
full
marks.
Too many operators
are
overlooking
the
coolant level in their
HYEX excavator’s
expansion tank.
if the level is
low,
the engine
overheats and
could seize up.
That’ll leave
you
stranded
at
the work site.
