COOLANT SOLUTION
Put only ethylene-glycol coolant solution in the
cooling system. Use good quality ethylene-glycol that
has a high boiling point, with no additives to prevent
leakage. Do not use non-approved anti-rust
additives. Anti-rust additives and ethylene-glycol can
mix and work against each other, thereby reducing
anti-corrosion protection, forming deposits in the
cooling system and causing damage to the cooling
system and radiator.
Consult your Dealer for suitable coolant solution.
To access the expansion tank, remove the two thumb
screws then completely lower the hood located at the
front of the machine.

The level of coolant solution should be checked when
the engine is cold.
On flat, level ground, before using the machine,
(while the engine is still cold), the level in the
expansion tank should be between the Full (1) and
Low (2) marks. If not, see Filling.

allow the system to cool down, turn the cap to
the first notch and wait until there is no more
pressure. Then remove the cap.
