CHANGE RADIATOR COOLANT
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 “Engine Cooling
System” on page 4-60, for further details.
NOTE: This unit was factory filled with propylene glycol.
WARNING!
Allow the engine to cool before releasing
the radiator cap. Make sure to loosen the
cap slowly to release any remaining
pressure.
Radiator cleaning is performed while the
engine is running. Take extreme caution
when working on or near a running
engine. Make sure to lock out and tag the
controls notifying personnel that service
work is being performed.
Do not remove the radiator cap unless it is
required. Observe the coolant level in the
coolant recovery tank.
