Checking the Coolant Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Cooling system capacity: 4 qt (3.7 l)
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
CAUTION

hot coolant can escape and cause burns.
• Do not open the radiator cap when the
engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool at least 15 minutes
or until the radiator cap is cool enough to
