Check Coolant

Capacity of system is 9 U.S. qt. (8.5 liters).
Clean debris off screen, oil cooler and radiator daily,
hourly if conditions are extremely dusty and dirty; refer
to Cleaning Radiator and Screen.
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol anti–freeze. Check level
of coolant at beginning of each day before starting the
engine.
1. Park machine on a level surface. Rotate hood latch
fully counterclockwise and open hood.
2. Check coolant level. Coolant should be up to COLD
line on reserve tank, when engine is cold.
If engine has been running, pressurized
hot coolant can escape and cause burns
if radiator cap is removed. Allow engine
to cool at least 15 minutes or until the
radiator cap is cool enough to touch
without burning hand.
3. If coolant is low, remove reserve tank cap and add a
50/50 mixture of water and permanent ethylene glycol
anti–freeze. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Install reserve tank cap.
