■Servicing the Cooling System

CAUTION

Avoid injury.

●ALWAYS allow radiator to cool before removing the radiator cap. The radiator will be hot and can cause burns. When the radiator cap is removed, pressure build-up in the cooling system can cause the coolant to spray out explosively.

●ALWAYS shut the engine down and allow it to cool. ●NEVER remove the radiator cap before the radiator and the engine are sufficiently cool such that they

can be touched with bare hands.

●Loosen the radiator cap carefully to the first stop, allowing excessive pressure to escape. Only then remove the radiator cap. If the tractor is equipped with a coolant reserve tank, add coolant or water to the reserve tank, not to the radiator. (See “Checking the Cooling System” on page 14-11).
