1. Remove pressure cap and fill tank to maximum recommended mark.

2. Elevate the front of the machine.
3. Start the engine and run at a fast idle for two to three minutes. Air

bubbles should come to the surface of the coolant tank. Run the

machine until air bubbles no longer appear.

machine is bled properly, the deicer gripper coolant extrusions will be

warm.

5. If needed, fill coolant to maximum recommended mark.

6. Replace the pressure cap and carefully lower the front end of the

machine.
