Checking the Cooling System
Check level of coolant at the beginning of each day.
Capacity of system is 2-3/4 gal. (10.4 l).
1. Carefully remove the radiator cap and expansion tank
cap (Fig. 3).
Caution
If the engine has been running, the pressurized,
hot coolant can escape and cause burns.
Do not open the radiator cap when the engine is
running.
Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and
open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.
2. Check the coolant level in the radiator. The radiator
should be filled to the top of the filler neck and the
expansion tank filled to the FULL mark.

3. If the coolant is low, add a 50/50 mixture of water and
ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Do not use water only or
alcohol/methanol base coolants.
4. Install the radiator cap and expansion tank cap.
Filling the Fuel Tank
The capacity of the fuel tank is 19 gallons (72 l).
1. Remove the fuel tank cap (Fig. 4).
2. Fill the tank to about 1 inch (25 mm) below the top of
the tank, not the filler neck, with No. 2 diesel fuel. Then
install the cap.

Danger
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6
to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows the fuel to
expand.
Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
