Check the Engine Coolant Level -
GM Models
Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level
is essential to engine service life. Improper coolant
level will affect the engine's cooling capability and
can damage engine components. Daily checks will
allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant
level that might indicate cooling system problems.
Perform this procedure with the
engine off and cooled.
1 Release the latches on the engine tray and fully
slide the engine tray out.
2 Insert a 6 inch / 15 cm screwdriver or rod into
the engine tray lock hole, located near the
engine tray roller wheels, to prevent the engine
tray from moving.
3 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
4 Slowly remove the radiator cap from the
radiator.
Burn hazard. Fluids in the radiator
are under pressure and extremely
hot. Use caution when removing
cap and adding fluids.
Bodily injury hazard. Allow any
pressure to dissipate gradually
before removing the radiator cap.
5 Check the fluid level in the radiator and add fluid
as needed. Install the radiator cap.
Result: The fluid level should be visible in the
top of the radiator.
6 Inspect for puddles, dripping or residue on or
around the following areas:
· Engine tray—fittings, hoses, water pump
· The underside of the drive chassis
· Ground area under the machine
