Cooling System Safety

•
Swallowing engine coolant can cause poisoning;
keep out of reach from children and pets.
•
Discharge of hot, pressurized coolant or touching
a hot radiator and surrounding parts can cause
severe burns.
– Always allow the engine to cool at least 15
minutes before removing the radiator cap.
– Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and
open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.
Checking the Cooling
System
Clean debris off the screen, oil cooler, and front of
the radiator daily and more often if conditions are
extremely dusty and dirty. Refer to the section on

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,
