Regular Maintenance
CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
(Gas Model)
The engine coolant level and quality should be checked
before each use, when the engine is cool and off.
1. Check the coolant in the overflow reservoir
(A, Figure 21). Coolant should be between the
“FULL” and “LOW” marks on the tank.
2. If coolant level is below the “LOW” on the overflow
reservoir, add coolant by shutting off the engine,
allowing the engine to cool, removing the reservoir
cap (B, Figure 21) and adding coolant. Refer to
Engine coolant container for proper mix ratio of
Engine coolant and distilled water.
CHANGE ENGINE COOLANT
(Gas Model)
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 & SCREENS
(Gas Model)
Clean the radiator screens before each use to allow
proper air-flow through radiator and engine compart-
ment.
1. Open the hood
2. Slide both radiator screens (A, Figure 22) up and out
of the mounting tracks.
3. Remove the radiator screens and flush 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. Reinstall the screens.
CHECK WARNING LIGHTS AND
ALARM
(Both Models)
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, but DO NOT
start the engine.
2. View the warning light gauge. The red lights contain-
ing each symbol for water temperature and oil pres-
sure should be illuminated and the warning buzzer
should also be on.
Once the engine is running, the buzzer and the warning
lights should turn off. During operation, if the buzzer or
warning lights come on, this indicates either high coolant
temperature or low oil pressure.
If the lights are not visible, or the buzzer can not be
heard, please contact your Ferris dealer.
