Regular Maintenance
Check Engine Coolant Level
The engine coolant level and quality should be 
checked before each use, when the engine is cool 
and off.
The cooling system is a closed type.  Never open 
the radiator cap unless you are flushing the system.  
Opening the radiator cap may induce air into the 
cooling system and may cause overheating.
 1.  Open the hood to gain access to the overflow 
bottle. (See Figure 18).
 2.  Check the coolant level only at the overflow 
reservoir (A, Figure 18).  The coolant level should 
be at the LOW (COLD) mark.
 3.  If the coolant level is insufficient, remove the cap 
(E) from the reservoir and add coolant to the  
LOW (COLD) mark.  See engine owners manual 
for specific engine coolant specifications.
 4.  Reinstall the cap.
NOTE:  Proper coolant mix is a 50/50 mixture of 
ethylene glycol and distilled water.  See engine 
owners manual for engine coolant specifications.
Change Engine Coolant
See engine owners manual for specific engine 
coolant procedures. The drain valve is located at the 
base of the right-hand side of the radiator. 
Clean Radiator & Screen
Clean the radiator (A, Figure 19) and screen befo
re 
each use, or as required (depending on conditions) to 
allow proper air-flow through radiator and hydraulic oil 
cooler.
 1.  Raise the seat plate.
 2.  Lift the radiator screen (B) straight up to remove 
the screen. Flush the screen with water or blow 
clean with air. Flush the radiator core with water 
or blow clean with air. See engine owners manual 
for proper radiator cleaning procedures.

WARNING
If engine is warm, DO NOT remove radiator 
cap. 
Escaping steam can cause burns. 
Never remove the radiator cap or radiator 
reservoir cap while the engine is hot or 
running.  Severe thermal burns or injury 
can occur by escaping steam or hot 
coolant.
• Do NOT touch hot radiator or open reservoir 
when engine is running. 
• Stop and allow engine to cool before removing 
the radiator cap or the reservoir cap and before 
changing or adding coolant.
 3.  Reinstall the radiator screen. Make sure the 
screen is fully seated in the carrier.
 4.  Lower the seat plate.
