Servicing the Cooling System

Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Clean the
radiator.
Every 100 hours—Check the cooling system hoses.
Yearly—Change the engine coolant (Authorized
Service Dealer only).
DANGER
If the engine has been running, the pressurized, hot
coolant can escape and cause severe burns.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine
is hot. Always allow the engine to cool at least
15 minutes or until the radiator cap is cool
enough to touch without burning your hand
before removing the radiator cap.
• Do not touch radiator and surrounding parts
that are hot.
• Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and
open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.
DANGER
Rotating shaft and fan can cause personal injury.
• Do not operate the machine without the covers
in place.
• Keep fingers, hands and clothing clear of
rotating fan and drive shaft.
• Shut off the engine and remove the ignition key
before performing maintenance.
CAUTION
Swallowing engine coolant can cause poisoning.
• Do not swallow engine coolant.
• Keep out of reach from children and pets.
Cleaning Radiator Screen
Before each use, check and clean the radiator screen, located
behind the grill at the front of the traction unit. Remove
any build-up of grass, dirt or other debris from the radiator
screen with compressed air.
Changing the Engine Coolant
Have an Authorized Service Dealer change the engine coolant
yearly.
If you need to add engine coolant, refer to
Checking, Adding, and Bleeding the Engine Coolant (page 20).
