4-16 Inspection, Maintenance and Adjustment K1000896E Operation and Maintenance Manual
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL
NOTE: Do not mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol antifreeze together. If the two are mixed,
the protection level will be reduced to the level of the ethylene glycol. See “Antifreeze
Concentration Tables” on page 4-61, for further details.
NOTE: This unit was factory filled with propylene glycol.
1. Remove fill cap from radiator (Figure 20). Check level of coolant inside radiator. If low, add coolant to
fill radiator to a point that is 10 – 20 mm (1/2 – 3/4") below top of overflow pipe. If temperature is
below freezing, see “Antifreeze Concentration Tables” on page 4-61 for antifreeze protection. Use
the table to calculate a proper mixture of antifreeze and water to provide level of protection necessary
for expected temperature.
WARNING!
Never open radiator when it is hot. Scalding liquid inside a hot radiator is under pressure.
Removing cap from a hot radiator could cause a person to be sprayed and burned from liquid
inside. Wait for radiator temperature to cool down before removing cap.
