LUBRICATION & SERVICE
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM (Figures 5 & 6)
Check cooling system daily (10 hours) for correct coo¬
lant level. Maintain coolant level between “FULL” &
“ADD” marks on overflow bottle located in front of
radiator.
WARNING: DO NOT remove radiator cap
while engine is hot. Radiator is pressurized;
if opened while hot, steam and boiling liquid
will be sprayed out, which may injure you and which
will cause excessive loss of coolant.
The cooling system is filled at the factory with a
permanent-type anti-freeze solution which protects
cooling system to -20° F (-20° C).
A drain cock is located at R.H. of frame. It drains radia¬
tor & block. Open drain cock when draining cooling
system, and remove radiator cap to prevent air locking
which will retard draining.
In warm areas where anti-freeze is not needed to pre¬
vent freezing, it is recommended that the cooling
system consist of at least one-third anti-freeze solu¬
tion to prevent cooling system rust and corrosion. The
rust and corrosion inhibitors in anti-freeze lose their
effectiveness after approximately two years. Therefore,
the cooling system should be drained and refilled with
proper amount of new anti-freeze solution every two
years. IMPORTANT: The use of a 100% anti-freeze
solution in cooling system is not recommended since a
certain amount of water is necessary to make anti¬
freeze effective. Always use a permanent-type
anti-freeze.
