Primary
C. Check radiator coolant level prior to each
day's use of the broom. The coolant level when
the engine is cold should cover the radiator core.
The coolant level when the engine is warm should
be at the bottom of the filler tube.
WARNING: Do not remove the
radiator cap when engine is hot.
Escaping hot coolant can cause
serious burns. Add coolant to the
radiator only when the engine is
stopped and fully cooled.
D. Refill the cooling system when necessary
with a mixture of 50% water and 50% ethylene-
glycol antifreeze.
E. Seasonally, or after every 500 service
hours, flush the cooling system. Consult the
diesel engine manufacturer's manual for
recommendations on the type of cleaner and
procedures to use for this operation.
Any good commercial automotive cooling system
cleaning solution can be used. Before replacing
the coolant after cleaning, consult the Preventive
Maintenance Chart in this manual to find the total
cooling system capacity for your engine. Prepare
the coolant as recommended by the engine
manufacturer and refill to the level given in
paragraph B above.
Battery
The ROSCO Broom is factory equipped with a
battery that is sized to provide efficient starting for
the diesel engine on the machine. With proper
maintenance, the battery will provide years of
trouble-free service.
A. Starting an engine depends heavily upon
good cranking speed. It is important that the
battery is fully charged and that all cables and
terminals are cleaned and properly connected to
the battery.
B. Check the level of the battery electrolyte
regularly. Add distilled water if necessary. DO
NOT overfill. Overfilling can cause poor
performance or early failure. A maintenance free
battery should rarely require additional electrolyte.
