Filling the Cooling System
with Antifreeze
No Parts Required
Procedure
The coolant capacity of the engine and the radiator: 18.5
L (19.5 US qt).
Important: Fill the cooling system properly to prevent
air locks in the cooling passages. Failing to vent the
cooling system properly can damage both the engine
and the cooling system.
Important: Never use sealing additive to stop leaks
in the cooling system. This can result in the cooling
system plugging and inadequate coolant flow, causing
the engine to overheat.
1. Remove the radiator cap from the recovery tank
(Figure 1).
2. Fill the cooling system with the specified coolant
mixture (Figure 9) until the fluid level is up to the
midpoint in the sight gauge (Figure 9).

the sight gauge)
2. Funnel
3. Install the recovery-tank cap (Figure 1).
4. Start the engine and run it at half throttle for 5 minutes.
5. Stop the engine and remove the key.
6. Wait 30 minutes, then check the fluid level in the
recovery tank.

3. Coolant (a mixture of 50%
ethylene glycol and 50%
water)
Note: If the coolant level is low, add coolant to the
recovery tank until the fluid level is up to the midpoint
of the sight gauge.
7. Install the side panels; refer to Operator's Manual for the
machine.
Operation
Using the Block Heater
Connecting the Block Heater to
Electrical Power
Electrical source specification: 110 to 120 volts AC
Note: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance
has a polarized plug (i.e., unique blade shapes and widths).
Use only a polarized socket that is compliant with NEMA
specifications at the electrical source, and polarized extension
cords that are UL-listed (CSA certified in Canada) for
outdoor use. A polarized plug of the electrical cord for the
block heater will fit in a polarized cord only one way. If
you do not have an outlet that is grounded and polarized,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not modify the electrical cord for the block heater or the
extension cord plug in any way.
1. Before parking the machine, move it close to the outlet
that will serve as the electrical source for the block
heater.
2. Set the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove
the key from the key switch.
3. If the electrical cord for the block heater is inside the
engine compartment, remove the right side panel; refer
to the Operator's Manual for the machine.
4. Plug the electrical cord for the block heater into a
grounded-type extension cord (Figure 10).
Important: Use only 3-wire extension cords with
terminals and sockets for the live, neutral, and
ground circuits.
Use the shortest extension cord possible and in
1 piece.
Note: When using an in-line ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) device, locate the GFCI as close to
the electrical source as possible.
