Filling
Perform the procedure below to fill the coolant system.
1. Close the radiator drain cock.
2. Fill the cooling system with coolant through the fill opening using a funnel.

enters the vent hose, it may block escaping air as the system fills. If the vent hose
is blocked, the system will seem full when in fact it is not. If the vent hose does
become blocked:
a.Pinch closed the overflow hose (z).
b.Blow the vent hose clear.
3. Reconnect the battery.
4. Start the genset and operate the genset for a few minutes, then shut it down.
