ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Level
The recovery bottle, located the left of
the frame, must be maintained between
the minimum and levels indicated on
the recovery bottle.
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. We
recommends the use of a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum
compatible anti-freeze coolant and distilled water.
NOTE: Always follow the manufacturer’s mixing recommendations for
the freeze protection required in your area.
