To
extend belt life, use low forward gear in heavy pulling situations and in situations
when you are operating below 7mph (11km/h) for extended periods of time.

Remove
the seat and the coolant
reservoir cap to add
coolant to appropriate level.
The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery system. The
recovery system components are the recovery bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator
pressure cap and connecting hose. As coolant operating temperature increases,
the expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the radiator past the
pressure cap and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature
decreases, the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank past
the pressure cap and into the radiator.
NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new machines is normal as the system is
purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels and maintain as recommended
by adding coolant to the recovery bottle. We recommend the use of a 50/50
mixture of high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze coolant and distilled water.
(Always follow the anti-freeze manufacturer's mixing recommendations for the
freeze protection required in your area.)

Radiator Coolant Level

If the cooling system has been drained for maintenance and/or repair, slowly add
coolant as necessary through the radiator filler neck. It is recommended that the
system be completely drained every two years and a fresh mixture of antifreeze
and water be added so that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine.
Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function
properly. If the cap should need replacement contact 1-800-643-7332 for the
correct replacement part.
WARNING
Never remove the pressure cap (1) when the engine is warm or hot. Escaping
steam can cause severe burns. The engine must be cool before removing the
pressure cap.
