Before Operation
14. Always check radiator coolant level with engine turned off and cold, if possible.
Caution — Use extreme care when removing radiator pressure cap. The sudden re-
lease of pressure can cause a steam flash resulting in serious injury. Place a rag over
the radiator cap and loosen slowly to allow gradual escape of steam.
Never add cold water or cold anti-freeze into the radiator of an overheated engine.
Allow the engine to cool and avoid the danger of cracking the cylinder head or
block. Keep engine running while adding water or anti-freeze. A solution of 50%
ethylene glycol and 50% water is recommended — never use water only.
15. Remove blocks
from drive wheels, enter
operator's compartment
and seat yourself.
16. Seat adjustment is
accomplished by re-
leasing short lever at
lower right front of
seat.
Position seat to provide
easy access to all hand
and foot controls, free
lever and make certain
that seat locks into de-
sired position.
