■ Checking the Cooling System
Avoid injury.
●ALWAYS allow radiator to cool before removing the
radiator cap. The radiator will be hot and can cause
burns. When the radiator cap is removed, pressure
build-up in the cooling system can cause the
coolant to spray out explosively.
●ALWAYS shut the engine down and allow it to cool.
●NEVER remove the radiator cap before the radiator
and the engine are sufficiently cool such that they
can be touched with bare hands.
●Loosen the radiator cap carefully to the first stop,
allowing excessive pressure to escape. Only then
remove the radiator cap. If the tractor is equipped
with a coolant reserve tank, add coolant or water to
the reserve tank, not to the radiator.
1. Park the tractor safely.
2. Allow the engine to cool down.
3. Raise the hood.
4. Remove the side panel from the right side of the
engine.
5. Check that the coolant level of the reserve tank is
between the FULL line and the LOW line.
6. When necessary, remove the reserve tank cap and
add the coolant.
7. Add pre-diluted coolant which is a 50:50 antifreeze-
water mixture.
Use High Quality Permanent Type Antifreeze
(Ethylene Glycol with corrosion and rust inhibitor
chemicals).
8. Reinstall the reserve tank cap.
9. Lower the hood.
