■ Flushing 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. (See “Checking the Cooling System”
on page 14-9).
1. Draining the Cooling System
