Fill Fuel Tank
DANGER
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use cau-
tion when storing or handling it. Do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running, hot, or when machine is
in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank outside
and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before start-
ing the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety--ap -
proved container and keep cap in place. Use die-
sel fuel for the engine only; not for any other pur-
pose.
IMPORTANT: U se No 2 diesel fuel only f or the en-
gine. The fuel tank capacity is about 11 gallons (41.7
l).
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key
from the ignition switch.
2. Clean area around the fuel tank cap. Remove cap
from the tank.

Check Cooling System
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol anti--freeze. Check level
of coolant at the beginning of each day before starting
the engine. System capacity is about 6 quarts (5.7 l) with
a 1 quart (0.9 l) expansion tank.
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key
from the ignition switch. Unlatch and raise hood.
CAUTION
If engine has been running, pressurized hot cool-
ant can escape when the radiator cap is removed
and cause burns. Open radiator cap only when
the radiator and engine are cold (Fig. 4).
2. Check level of coolant in the expansion tank. With a
cold engine, coolant level should be between the marks
on the side of tank.
3. If coolant level is low, remove expansion tank cap
and replenish the system. Do not overfill.
4. Install expansion tank cap. Close and secure hood.
