When checking the radiator coolant level, stop engine, let the
engine and radiator cool down, then check the coolant recovery
tank. If the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank is near the
upper limit, there is enough coolant in the radiator.
Loosen the radiator cap gradually to release the internal
pressu
re before removing the radiator cap.
If the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank is below the
lower limit, add c
oolant.
Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Alkali can cause
persona
l injury. Do not allow alkali to contact the skin, the eyes,
or the mouth.
Allow cooling system components to cool before you drain the
co
oling system.
Hot oil and hot components can cause person
al injury. Do not
allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin.
Remove hydraulic tank filter plug

system, or in the cooling system before you disconnect any
lines, fittings, or related items.
