Cooling System
Adding Coolant to the System
Allow the engine to cool if it is hot.
1. Open the Hood.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
3. Fill the radiator from fill neck (A) with clean coolant
upto a level approx. 2" below the radiator neck.
4. Start the engine and let it idle to remove air from the
system. Coolant level in radiator will reduce.
5. Slowly pour coolant into the radiator till the coolant
level in radiator does not go down further.
6. Fill coolant in surge tank from fill neck (B) upto the Max
level mark.
7. Refit the radiator cap.
8. Shut down the Engine.
9. Close the Hood.
Ensure that the filler cap is clean and free of dirt particles
before replacing.
Cooling System Protection
A common cause of the engine overheating is a rust
clogged cooling system. Rust causes overheating by
interfering with circulation and cooling. The tractors are
filled with a mixture of new low silicate antifreeze (50% -
antifreeze - 50% water) with a rust inhibitor in it.
Use of approved supplemental corrosion inhibitor along
with ethylene glycol will add increased rust prevention,
reduce scale formation, minimize cylinder wall erosion &
reduce foaming or tendency to foam.
Antifreeze : There are numerous antifreeze products
marketed today. Diesel engines are adversely affected by
the additives added to protect the aluminum surfaces.
Antifreeze suitable for diesel engines conforms to an
industry recognised standards which limits silicates to 0.1%.
Once silica-gel has formed it is very difficult and costly to
remove.
Low silicate antifreeze is available through out the United
States. We are listing below some low silicate antifreezes
that meet GM 6038 M formulation specification. There may
be other suppliers who can make available low silicate
antifreezes.
Recommended change period : 1 year or when ever the
radiator coolant is drained.
