Check Engine Coolant Level
Liquid Cool Models Only
Service Interval: Every 25 Hours, or As Necessary
The engine coolant level and quality should be checked
before each use, when the engine is off and cool.
1. Check the coolant level in the overflow reservoir (E,
Figure 29 & 30). Coolant should be between the "H" and
"L" marks on the tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the "L" mark on the overflow
reservoir, add coolant by shutting off the engine,
allowing the engine to cool, removing the reservoir
cap, and adding coolant. Proper coolant mix is a 50/50
mixture of ethylene glycol and distilled water.
