Checking/Adding/Draining Radiator Coolant - Lincoln Electric RANGER SVM120-A Service Manual

D-6
CHECKING/ADDING/DRAINING RADIATOR COOL-
ANT: Check the level of coolant in the reserve tank.
The level is sufficient if it is between the "FULL" and
the "LOW" marks. If the level is below the "LOW"
mark, add fresh, water/antifreeze mixture to the
"FULL" mark. Check the two drain cocks for tightness
(one at the bottom side of the radiator, one on the side
of the engine). See Figure D.4.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, never remove the radiator
pressure cap nor the reserve tank cap while the engine
is running under heavy load or immediately after it has
stopped. Hot water may gush out, which can scald
people nearby.
To drain the cooling system, open both the radiator
and the engine drain cocks (Figure D.4). Also open the
radiator cap. Tighten both cocks and refill the radiator
with fresh coolant. A 50/50 antifreeze/water solution
should be used year round.
