tank. When adding coolant to the radiator,  remove
the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See
Table 10 for engine, radiator, and recovery tank coolant
capacities. Make sure the coolant level in the recovery tank
is always between the “H” and the “L” markings.

The engine may overheat if the radiator fins become
overloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the

Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level are
not properly maintained. Add only distilled water when
replenishment is necessary.
 over fill. Check to see whether the battery
cables are loose. Poor contact may result in poor starting
or malfunctions.  keep the terminals firmly
tightened. Coating the terminals with an approved battery
terminal treatment compound. Replace battery with only
recommended type battery.
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity
of the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific gravity
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is
dead and needs to be recharged or replaced.
Before charging the battery with an external electric source,
be sure to disconnect the battery cables.
