Hot Weather Operation
CAUTION:
Coolant conditioner contains alkali. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not take internally. In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water. For eyes, flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. Keep out of reach of children.
The cooling system must be clean and in good condition for operation. Loss of pressure results in over heating and loss of coolant.
Check for:
-
recovery tank coolant level
-
plugged radiator
-
leaking hoses
-
broken fan belt or rotary screen belt
-
engine fan should be at high speed
The combine is shipped from the factory with permanent type 50/50 ethylene glycol antifreeze in the cooling system.
Leave antifreeze in cooling system all year around. If coolant is lost or drained, it must be replaced with the correct coolant and conditioner (See the recommendations given in Fuels and Lubricants in this manual).
To prevent mineral deposits, do not use hard water.
The use of RE23182 Liquid Coolant Conditioner is recommended to protect against engine and cooling system wear. Add .9L (one quart) to radiator when coolant is changed.
