1 - Expansion Tank

2 - Fill Cap

Remove fill cap only when engine is cold or when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

IMPORTANT: John Deere Liquid Coolant Conditioner does not protect against freezing. Coolant conditioner prevents rust, scale, and liner cavitation.

1. NOTE: If Caltex coolant has been replaced with Deere COOL-GARD coolant, add coolant conditioner as necessary.

   Remove fill cap (2) and test coolant solution in expansion tank (1). For Caltex coolant, use an appropriate test device to measure the specific gravity of ccoolant solution. If Caltex coolant has been replaced with Deere COOL-GARD, use one of the following kits to check coolant:

   • 3-WAY Heavy Duty Coolant Test Kit (TY16175) (For use with Deere COOL-GARD coolant.)

     Coolant test strips provide an effective method to check freeze point and additive levels of engine coolant. See your authorized dealer for 3-WAY Heavy Duty Coolant Test Kit and follow instructions on kit.

   
   
   • CoolScan Plus (For use with Deere COOL-GARD coolant.)

     For a more thorough evaluation of coolant, perform CoolScan Plus analysis, where available. See your authorized dealer for information about CoolScan Plus.

   
   

2. IMPORTANT: To prevent machine damage, ensure that all coolant additives are compatible with coolant system is currently filled with.

   Add coolant conditioner or equivalent non-chromatic conditioner/rust inhibitor, as necessary. Follow instructions on container for amount.
