Checking Coolant Level

TS281-UN-15APR13

LV14233-UN-03MAY11

A - Cap

B - Coolant Recovery Tank

CAUTION: Avoid injury from hot, spraying fluid. Add make-up coolant through the coolant recovery tank, not directly to the radiator. If cap must be removed, do not remove when engine is hot. Shut engine off and wait until cap is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to relieve pressure before removing completely.

IMPORTANT: Periodically check coolant level in radiator. If cap should become defective, coolant would not be drawn from recovery tank and could cause the engine to overheat. Replace cap as necessary.

1. Raise hood and check level in coolant recovery tank (B), BEFORE starting tractor.

2. NOTE: Coolant level should be checked when engine is COOL.

   If engine is COOL and level is below “MIN” mark, remove cap (A) and add coolant to recovery tank to bring level between “MIN” and “MAX” marks. (See Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Coolant in Fuel, Lubricants, and Coolant section.)

3. Install cap and lower hood.
