Visually inspect fuel tank breather (A), which is located by the hydraulic reservoir. Do not allow excessive amounts of chaff or debris to collect on top of breather. If breather is covered with debris, it will not allow fuel tank to breathe. Remove fuel tank breather from hose (B) and clean.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to drain cooling system to protect against freezing. The heater does not drain completely, so freeze damage might result.

The combine is shipped from the factory with permanent type 50/50 ethylene glycol antifreeze mix in the cooling system.

Leave antifreeze in cooling system all year long. If coolant is lost or drained, it must be replaced with the correct coolant and conditioner (see recommendations given in Fuels and Lubricants section).

After adding antifreeze, turn heater ON and run engine until it reaches operating temperature. This mixes the solution and circulates it through the system.

When the temperature drops below freezing, keep batteries fully charged. Discharged batteries will freeze.

In freezing weather, do not add water to batteries unless engine is to be run for 30 minutes or more or batteries are charged after water is added.

Fill optional windshield washer reservoir with automotive windshield washer solution.
