Checking the Coolant Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Cooling system capacity: 3.7 l (4 qt)
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the
pressurized, hot coolant can escape and cause
burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap.
• Allow the engine to cool at least 15 minutes
or until the radiator cap is cool enough to
touch without burning your hand.
• Use a rag when opening the reserve tank
cap, and open the cap slowly to allow
steam to escape.
• Do not check the coolant level at the
radiator; only check the coolant level at the
reserve tank.
2. Check the coolant level at the reserve tank (Figure 17).
The coolant should be up to the bottom of the filler
neck.
