1 - Radiator Cap

Prevent possible injury from hot spraying water. Shut off engine. Remove filler cap only when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

IMPORTANT: John Deere COOL-GARD™ II Coolant Extender does not protect against freezing. Coolant extender prevents rust, scale, and liner cavitation.

NOTE: Check coolant every 1000 hours or 1 year, or when replacing 1/3 or more of coolant. Add coolant extender as necessary.

1. Remove radiator cap (1) and test coolant solution. Use one of the following kits to check coolant:

   • COOL-GARD II Test Strips

     Coolant test strips provide an effective method to check freeze point and additive levels of engine coolant. See your authorized dealer for COOL-GARD II test strips and follow instructions on kit.

   • COOLSCAN PLUS™

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

   
   

2. Add John Deere COOL-GARD II Coolant Extender as necessary. Follow instructions on container for amount.
