Interior Engine Cover
• Insert the supplied hex wrench into the hole
in the rear top or edge of the engine cover.
• Turn the hex wrench to the left (counter-
clockwise) to unlatch.
NOTE: There may be a screw at each front lower
corner.
• Lift the rear end of the cover upward and pull
the cover from the opening.
• To return the cover, position the front end of
the cover first, then lower the rear end. It is
important to be sure the front edge is pushed
completely forward to the radiator cover to
ensure an air-tight seal.
• Press the rear end of the cover down and turn
the hex wrench to the right (clockwise) until
the latch pulls the cover downward and stops.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Refer to your chassis operating guide and
diesel engine manual for information and precau-
tions on filling, servicing and checking the fluid
level.
Do not remove the radiator cap while engine
and radiator are still hot. Always check coolant
level visually at the see-through coolant reser-
voir.
NOTE: Your chassis engine cooling system is
filled with special extended-life coolant
that is not the same as common anti-
freeze available at retail outlets.
The coolant system MUST be refilled or
topped up with the same type of coolant
as equipped to maintain the special long-
life properties.
Workhorse chassis use GM Dexcool
LLC, which is a bright, pink/orange col-
or.
Ford chassis use Ford Premium Gold
(GO 5), which is a golden color.
TIRES
Low air pressure results in tire overloading
and abnormal wear and also affects handling and
fuel economy. Obtain proper inflation pressures
from your chassis operating guide or tire manu-
facturer.
Do not mix different construction types of
tires on the vehicle such as radial, bias or belted

When refilling the coolant system of
a vehicle equipped with a rear auxil-
iary automotive heater and motoraid
water heater, be sure to allow for
additional coolant capacity of the
heater and its supply and return
hoses.
