Day-to-day addition of coolant is done from the recovery
tank. When adding coolant to the radiator, do not remove
the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See
Table 10 for engine, radiator, and recovery tank coolant
capacities. Make sure the coolant level in the recovery tank
is always between the “H” and the “L” markings.
operation in Freezing Weather
When operating in freezing weather, be certain the proper
amount of antifreeze (Table 11) has been added.
Cleaning tHe radiator
The engine may overheat if the radiator fins become
overloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the
