MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Engine Cooling System

Coolant Level

The recovery bottle (1) is located on the

left side of the machine. To access the

recovery bottle, remove the left side panel

as outlined on page 87.
Maintain the coolant level between the

minimum and maximum marks on the

bottle (when the fluid is cool). Add

coolant as needed.

Cooling System Operation

The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery

system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle,

radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)

excess coolant is forced out of the radiator, past the pressure cap, and

into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the

contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the

pressure cap, and into the radiator.

NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new machines is normal, as the

system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant

levels and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to

the recovery bottle.
