The filler cap •is located on the right hand side of the coach at the rear
above radiator compartment.
On early coaches a water level check cable is located in the right rear engine
compartment. To check water level, pull cable, if water does not flow from water level
check drain hose, then additional water and or antifreeze is required.
On later coaches a sight gauge is located on the rear face of surge tank. Correct water
and or antifreeze level is approximately half way in sight glass.
To add water and or antifreeze, open the rad,ator filler door, depress
the vent button at the lower inside of fill box t'o relieve pressure, if any and

Two gate valves are located in heater lines to separate the heating system
from the engine cooling system. This feature is provided for emergency
and maintenance purposes.

Cold water and or antifreeze should never be poured into the
cooling system when engine is hot. Wait until engine has cooled, then
add water and or antifreeze slowly with engine running.
ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL
Engine oil dipstick is accessible through the rear engine service door.
Oil filler pipe is at left hand side of coach on engine.
Always check engine oil level with engine at normal operating tem-
perature and with the coach in a level position.

level.
