14. PERIODIC SERVICE

■Checking the Cooling System

WARNING

Avoid injury.

●ALWAYS allow radiator to cool before removing the radiator tank cap. The radiator will be hot and can cause burns. When the radiator tank 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 tank cap before the radiator and the engine are sufficiently cool such that they can be touched with bare hands.

●Loosen the radiator tank cap carefully to the first stop, allowing excessive pressure to escape. Only then remove the radiator tank cap. If the tractor is equipped with a coolant reserve tank, add coolant or water to the reserve tank, not to the radiator.

1.Park the tractor safely and securely.

2.Allow the engine to cool down.

3.Open the hood.

4.Check that the coolant level of the reserve tank is between the FULL line and the LOW line.

5.When necessary, remove the reserve tank cap and add the coolant.

6.Add pre-diluted coolant which is a 50:50 antifreeze-water mixture.

Use High Quality Permanent Type Antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol with corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals).

7.Reinstall the reserve tank cap.

8.Close the hood.
