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.

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

   Park tractor on level ground before checking coolant level.

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 must be between the hot full mark (C) and the cold full mark (D) on coolant recovery tank (E).
   • If engine is cold, coolant level must be at the cold full (D) on the 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).
