■ Checking the Cooling System
Avoid injury.
●ALWAYS allow radiator to cool before
removing the radiator tank cap. The radiator
will be hot and can cause burns. When the
radiator tank 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 tank cap before the
radiator and the engine are sufficiently cool
such that they can be touched with bare hands.
●Loosen the radiator tank cap carefully to the
first stop, allowing excessive pressure to
escape. Only then remove the radiator tank
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 and securely.
2. Allow the engine to cool down.
3. Open the hood.
4. Check that the coolant level of the reserve tank is
between the FULL line and the LOW line.
5. When necessary, remove the reserve tank cap
and add the coolant.
6. 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).
7. Reinstall the reserve tank cap.
8. Close the hood.
