8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

8.5 ENGINE COOLANT ______________________________________________________

To prevent injury from the hot-engine coolant or steam, never remove the radiator cap with the engine
in operation. Stop the engine and wait until the radiator is cool. When radiator is cool, use caution to
remove the radiator cap.
Do not put cold coolant mixture into a hot radiator. Do not operate the engine without a correct
coolant mixture. Install the radiator cap correctly.
Check coolant level each day. The radiator must be full and the recovery bottle must be at the cold mark.
Drain and fill the cooling system each year. Empty and clean the recovery bottle.
Mix clean water with anti-freeze for the coldest ambient temperature. Read and follow the instructions on the anti-
freeze container and the Engine manual.
Keep the radiator, engine oil cooler and hydraulic oil cooler air passages clean. Do not use compressed air to
clean the fins. Only use low pressure water to clean radiator.
Stop Engine & Remove the Starter Key Before Pressure Washing. Do not use a pressure washer near
the instrument panel or Engine radiator to prevent damage.
Check and tighten the engine fan belt (see maintenance chart) and replace the belt (see maintenance chart).
Replace the clamps and hoses (see maintenance chart).
Have your Jacobsen Dealer check the cooling system if you need to add coolant more than one time a month or
you add more than a litre of coolant at a time.
