MAINTENANCE
Check the Engine Coolant Level
Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level is
essential to engine service life. Improper coolant
level will affect the engine's cooling capability and
damage engine components. Daily checks will
allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant
level that might indicate cooling system problems.
1 Remove the radiator cap and check the coolant
level. Add fluid as needed.
Bodily injury hazard. Fluids in the
radiator are under pressure and
extremely hot. Use caution when
removing cap and adding fluids.
Check the Battery
Proper battery condition is essential to good engine
performance and operational safety. Improper fluid
levels or damaged cables and connections can
result in engine component damage and hazardous
conditions.
This procedure does not need to
be performed on machines with
sealed or maintenance-free
batteries.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with
hot or live circuits could result in
death or serious injury. Remove all
rings, watches and other jewelry.
Bodily injury hazard. Batteries
contain acid. Avoid spilling or
contacting battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking soda
and water.
