EVERY 2000 HOURS or 2 YEARS

Be sure to do the following servicing once every 2000
hours or biennially, whichever comes first.
BFlushing Cooling System and Changing
Coolant
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is
hot. When cool, slowly rotate cap to the first
stop and allow sufficient time for excess
pressure to escape before removing the cap
completely.
1. Stop the engine, remove the key and let it cool down.
2. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug and
remove radiator cap. The radiator cap must be
removed to completely drain the coolant.
3. After all coolant is drained, reinstall the drain plug.
4. Fill with clean soft water and cooling system cleaner.
5. Follow directions of the cleaner instruction.
6. After flushing, fill with clean soft water and anti-freeze
until the coolant level is just below the radiator cap.
Install the radiator cap securely.
7. Fill with coolant up to the "FULL" mark of recovery
tank.
8. Start and operate the engine for few minutes.
9. Stop the engine, remove the key and let cool.
10. Check coolant level of recovery tank and add coolant
if necessary.
11. Properly dispose of used coolant.

BAnti-Freeze
To avoid personal injury or death:

such as rubber gloves. (Antifreeze contains
poison.)

do so by poison control or a health care
professional. Use standard first aid and CPR
for signs of shock or cardiac arrest. Call your
local Poison Control Center or your local
emergency number for further assistance.
A When antifreeze comes in contact with the skin
or clothing, wash it off immediately.
A Do not mix different types of Antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction
causing harmful substances.

explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire
and children away from antifreeze.
A When draining fluids from the engine, place
some container underneath the engine body.
A Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a
