WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Engine coolant is hot and pressurized.

♦Radiator and surrounding parts are hot.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Spray or steam from hot, pressurized liquid in the engine cooling system or touching a hot radiator may cause severe burns.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Allow the engine to cool completely before removing the radiator cap or servicing any component of the cooling system.

CAUTION

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Engine coolant is toxic.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Swallowing coolant can cause poisoning.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Do not swallow

♦Keep out of reach of children and pets.

With machine on level surface and with cool engine, remove radiator cap (under hood) and add a 50/50 mix of water and Dex-Cool© extended life coolant until liquid level is as high as possible without overflowing. Reinstall radiator cap, making sure that the cap is completely seated by pressing down firmly while turning until the cap stops. Add 50/50 coolant mix to overflow bottle on the left side of the engine as required to bring the level up to the indicator line on the bottle.

NOTE: Units should only be filled with Dex-Cool© extended life coolant, which can be identified by its orange color.

3.10 SERVICE HYDRAULIC OIL

The machine is shipped with hydraulic oil in the reservoir. Run the machine for approximately 15 minutes to allow any extra air to purge out of the hydraulic system. Check hydraulic reservoir and if necessary fill the reservoir to the appropriate level with Mobil 1 15W-50 synthetic motor oil. Replace hydraulic reservoir cap and tighten until snug. DO NOT overtighten.

NOTE: The baffle has two levels. The upper level represents the “HOT” level and the lower level represents the “COLD” level. The oil level varies with the temperature of the oil. The “HOT” level shows the level of oil when it is a 225°F (107°C). The “COLD” level shows the level of the oil when it is at 75°F (24°C). Fill to the appropriate level depending upon the temperature of the oil. For example: If the oil is about 150°F (65°C), fill to halfway between the “HOT” and “COLD” levels. If the oil is at room temperature (about 75°F (24°C)), fill only to the “COLD” level.
