Check Engine Coolant Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Note: If the engine coolant level is below the indicator line on the overflow bottle when the engine is cold, the coolant temperature gauge may not register correctly during operation and/or the warning buzzer may not sound if the engine overheats.
1.Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Make sure unit is on a level surface.
2.Check with engine cold.
3.View coolant level in overflow bottle on the left side of the engine compartment. Coolant level should be at the indicator line on the overflow bottle.
4.If the coolant level is low, open hood or raise radiator, remove the cap to the overflow bottle and fill to the indicator line. Units should only be filled with a 50/50 mix of
