System Notes — COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system covers the radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan and fan drive, coolant hoses, clamps, the surge tank and the belts that drive it. It holds engine temperature inside the range where clearances and oil film stay correct. Failures are usually slow and then sudden: a hose softens and balloons before it bursts, a water pump seal starts weeping from the weep hole, a thermostat sticks partly open so the engine runs cold and burns more fuel. On construction sites the radiator also packs with dust and debris, which raises pressure across the core and finds the weakest hose or clamp first.
System Notes — FRAME AND BODY
The frame and body group covers the main frame, counterweight, fenders, steps, handrails, access doors, panels and the mounting hardware that ties them together. It carries every load the machine generates and every load the attachment imposes back into the structure. Cracks almost always start at a weld toe or a bolt hole where a mounting has worked loose, and a loose guard or step is both a structural and a safety issue. Parts in this group are replaced after impact damage, after crack repair, or when fasteners no longer hold torque because the hole has elongated.
