b Engine Coolant
Radiator Pressure Cap
The cooling system is pressurised to increase boiling point of
coolant, therefore extreme caution should be taken when
carrying out maintenance on cooling system to prevent
scalding.
Topping-Up Cooling System Level - Engine Cold
This operation should only be performed by topping-up the
plastic expansion tank (B) to maintain coolant level within the
Maximum (D) and Minimum (E) marks on expansion tank.
Only fill radiator via the orifice at (A), after draining the system
or on regular servicing check. See Radiator Cap Access section.
NEVER Overfill the Expansion Tank
Coolant
The coolant used to top up the cooling system should be a pre-
mixed solution of antifreeze and water in the correct ratio for the
temperature range the machine is to be used in.
DO NOT USE Anti-Leak Additives
When topping-up the system, always check the water hoses
for damage or wear and for any obvious leaks
Radiator Cap Access
• Lift and turn handle (F) on the radiator cap cover plate (G) to
release the catch.
• Lift cover plate (G) to access the radiator cap (A).
• Ensure radiator cap (A) has been replaced and tightened
before closing cover plate (G) and returning the handle (F) to
the locked position.
b
NEVER Remove Radiator Cap (A) or Expansion Tank Cap
(C) when Engine is HOT. Allow tanks to vent residual
pressure before completely removing caps.
b
NEVER Remove Radiator Cap (A) when Engine is HOT
b
NEVER start engine without coolant in the cooling system.
