24. SERVICE PROCEDURE
24.2.2 CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM
• Soon after the engine has been stopped, the coolant is hot
and can cause personal injury. Allow the engine to cool
before draining water.
• Since cleaning is performed while the engine is running, it
is very dangerous to enter the rear side of the machine as
the machine may suddenly start moving. If the under
cover is left removed, it may interfere with the fan. While
the engine is running, never enter the rearside of the ma-
chine.
• Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is at oper-
ating temperature. At operating temperature, the coolant
is under pressure. Steam blowing up from the radiator
could cause personal injury. Allow the engine to cool until
the radiator filler cap is cool enough to touch with your
hand. Remove the filler cap slowly to allow pressure to be
relieved.
•
Stop the machine on level ground when cleaning or changing the
coolant.
•
Use a permanent type of antifreeze.
If, for some reason, it is impossible to use permanent type antifreeze,
use an antifreeze containing ethylene glycol.
