Check Coolant Level

1. CAUTION: Remove radiator cap (A) only when engine is cold. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

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

   NOTE: Clean radiator in most dusty conditions. Failure of cleaning leads to improper flow of coolants through radiator which leads to a temperature increase of coolants.

   Park the tractor on a level surface with the engine SHUT-OFF and the parking brake "ON" and implement lowered to the ground.

2. Raise hood.

   NOTE: ALWAYS check engine coolant level by observing the coolant recovery tank (E).

   A - Radiator Cap

   B - Cap, Coolant Recovery Tank

   C - HOT FULL

   D - COLD FULL

   E - Coolant Recovery Tank

   Check coolant level:
   • If engine is warm, coolant level should be between the HOT FULL (C) and the COLD FULL (D) on coolant recovery tank (E).
   • If engine is cold, coolant level should be at the COLD FULL (D) on coolant recovery tank (E).

4. If coolant is low, remove cap (B) to add coolant. Add specified ratio of antifreeze and water.

   IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! To prevent engine damage:

   • DO NOT operate engine without coolant.
   • DO NOT pour coolant into the radiator when the engine is hot.
   • To prevent engine overheating, never exceed more than 50% antifreeze in cooling system.
   
   

5. Install and tighten the coolant recovery tank cap (B).
