Checking the Coolant Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution
of water and permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze.
Check the level of coolant in the radiator and the
expansion tank at the beginning of each day before
starting the engine. The cooling system capacity is
5.8 qt (5.5 l).
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the coolant
may be hot and pressurized. If you open
the radiator cap when the coolant is hot, it
could spray out and severely burn you or
bystanders.
Allow the engine to cool for at least 15
minutes before opening the radiator cap.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface.
2. Set the parking brake, stop the pump, stop the
engine, and remove the ignition key.
3. Carefully remove the radiator cap and the
expansion tank cap

Note:
The radiator should be filled to the top
of the filler neck and the expansion tank filled
to the Full mark.

5. If coolant level is low, remove the expansion tank
cap and the radiator cap, and fill expansion tank
to the Full mark and the radiator to the top of the
filler neck. Do not overfill the expansion tank.
Important:
alcohol/methanol-based coolant.

Servicing the Cooling
System
Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the
Every 200 hours—Clean the radiator fins.
Every 400 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)—Check the coolant (as directed by the
manufacturer) and change if necessary.
Clean the radiator fins of all debris using low-pressure
compressed air or a soft brush. Clean them more
often if needed. Also check all coolant hoses and
replace any that are worn, leaking, or damaged.
Important:
Do not spray water into a hot engine
compartment.
Important:
Do not add coolant to an overheated
engine until the engine has fully cooled. Adding
coolant to an overheated engine may crack the
engine block.
Check the engine coolant as directed by the
manufacturer. Use 5.8 qt (5.5 l) of a solution of 50%
water and 50% permanent ethylene glycol antifreeze.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the
parking brake, stop the pump, stop the engine,
and remove the ignition key.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the
coolant may be hot and pressurized.
If you open the radiator cap when the
g002250
coolant is hot, it could spray out and
severely burn you or bystanders.
Allow the engine to cool for at least 15
minutes before opening the radiator cap.
The radiator cap must be cool to the
touch.
2. When the engine is cool, remove the radiator
cap (Figure
