WARNING
PRESSURIZED SYSTEM
Hot coolant can cause serious burns. Never
open the radiator cap. Wait until the engine
is cool before checking the coolant level or
removing the reservoir cap.
Cooling System (Liquid Cooled Models
Only)
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. Doing so may induce air into the cooling
system and may cause overheating.
1. Check the coolant level only at the overflow
reservoir (A). The coolant level should be
between the “H” and “L” marks.
2. If the coolant level is insufficient, remove the cap
(B) from the reservoir and add coolant to the “H”
mark.
3. 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 change procedures.
Clean Radiator & Screen
Clean the radiator and screen before each use, or as
required (depending on conditions) to allow proper
air-flow through the radiator.
1. To remove the radiator screen, lift the seat.
2. Release radiator screen latch (C), slide towards
the left hand side of the machine. Lift screen
enough to clear radiator cap and slide out the
front.
3. 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.
4. To reinstall the radiator screen, reverse removal
process.
