Regular Maintenance
CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
The engine coolant level and quality should be
checked before each use, when the engine is cool
and off.
1. Remove the radiator pressure cap (A, Figure 18)
to check the fluid level.
2. Coolant level should be 1/2” (13mm) below the
bottom of the filler tube. If coolant level is low,
add coolant until level is 1/2” (13mm) below the
bottom of the filler tube. Proper coolant mix is
a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and distilled
water. See engine owners manual for engine
coolant specifications.
3. Check the coolant level in the radiator expansion
tank (Figure 19). If coolant level is low, remove
the cap add coolant until level is at the “FULL”
line. 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 procedures. The drain valve is located at the
base of the right-hand side of the radiator.
CLEAN RADIATOR, SCREEN & OIL
COOLER
Clean the radiator, screen and oil cooler fins before
each use, or as required (depending on conditions) to
allow proper air-flow through radiator and hydraulic oil
cooler.
1. Raise the seat plate.
2. Lift the radiator screen straight up to remove the
screen. 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.

WARNING
If engine is warm, DO NOT remove radiator
cap.
Escaping steam can cause burns.
Never remove the radiator cap or radiator
reservoir cap while the engine is hot or
running. Severe thermal burns or injury
can occur by escaping steam or hot
coolant.
• Do NOT touch hot radiator or open reservoir
when engine is running.
• Stop and allow engine to cool before removing
the radiator cap or the reservoir cap and before
changing or adding coolant.
3. Clean all dirt, grass, and debris from the oil cooler
fins.
4. Reinstall the radiator screen. Make sure the
screen is fully seated in the carrier.
5. Lower the seat plate.
