3.7 Coolant
WARNING!
The radiator is pressurized!
NEVER check the coolant while the engine is running!
COOLANT IS HOT! Always allow ample time for coolant to cool before checking,
changing, or repairing leaks!
CAUTION
Clean radiator daily! Overheating may occur if radiator is not cleaned daily.
Brush out and clean radiator and hood grills daily to prevent overheating!
Be sure the coolant system is filled to the proper level, the coolant is mixed properly,
and is in good condition!
ALWAYS check to be sure there are no coolant leaks before operating the Lastec
Mower!
Incorrect mixture, inadequate coolant level, poor condition, or leaks of any kind can
cause severe engine damage!
Be sure engine is turned off, and allowed to cool.
The radiator is located behind the operator’s seat.
Overheating may occur if the radiator is not cleaned daily.
Brush out and clean the radiator screen daily to prevent
overheating.
Check the coolant level in the overflow tank (located to
the right center of the engine). The coolant level should
maintain a level of 3/4 full at all times. If the coolant level
is low, add premixed coolant prior to operation. If the
coolant appears excessively contaminated or diluted, change the coolant prior to opera-
tion. Consult the Kubota Diesel Engine Operator’s Manual or proper coolant types and
mixtures.
Check the entire coolant system for any leaks. Areas to inspect include the radiator, over-
flow tank, all hoses, clamps, and fittings, the entire engine area, and under the engine. If
