Air Removal
If air enters the fuel system of a diesel engine, starting
becomes impossible. After running out of fuel, or after
disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system according
to the following procedure.
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the key switch to the
"START" position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed.
This unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.
Radiator
Check Daily: Coolant will last for one day's work if filled to
the maximum level.

CAUTION:
CAUTION:
NEVER remove the radiator cap while the coolant is
hot! Let radiator cool before removing cap. Severe burns
and bodily injury could result from removing the radiator
cap when the radiator is hot.
NEVER stop engine suddenly to add coolant, let engine
idle for 3-5 minutes with no load. Then shut-down engine
and let cool.
Checking Coolant Level
1. Remove the radiator cap (Figure 12) only after the engine
has completely cooled , and check to see that the coolant
reaches the supply port.

2. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank, (Figure 13),
make sure it is filled to the "FULL" marking with coolant.
The coolant will last for one days work if filled to the
"FULL" mark. Replenish coolant as coolant approaches
"LOW" marking on reserve tank.
3. DO NOT refill the reserve tank with coolant beyond the
"FULL" marking.
Adding Coolant/Anti-freeze
Day-to-day addition of coolant or antifreeze is done via the
reserve tank. See Table 6 for engine/radiator and reserve
tank coolant capacities and Table 7 for coolant operating
temperatures. Make sure that the coolant level in the reserve
tank is always between the "FULL" and the "LOW" markings.
