1.5 ENGINE RADIATOR MAINTENANCE
A. Daily / 8 Hours:
(1) Coolant Level
(a) Insert the engine radiator coolant level and add coolant to adjust the
level. You can see the level of coolant in the sight gauge near the
top of the radiator tank. A solution of 50% ethylene glycol by volume
is the recommended year-round coolant mixture. If necessary, refill
the corrosion inhibitor. Refer to the engine manual or the servicing
facility to pick the correct coolant and corrosion inhibitor.
(b) If you operate in an area that does not freeze, use a solution of
clean water with a corrosion inhibitor. This gives you the best
performance.
