CHECK ANTIFREEZE LEVEL
(Gas Model)
The engine coolant level and quality should be checked before each use, when the engine is cool and off.
1.Check the coolant in the overflow reservoir
(A, Figure 21). Coolant should be between the “FULL” and “LOW” marks on the tank.
2.If coolant level is below the “LOW” on the overflow reservoir, add coolant by shutting off the engine, allowing the engine to cool, removing the reservoir cap (B, Figure 21) and adding coolant. Refer to Antifreeze container for proper mix ratio of Antifreeze and distilled water.

CHECK WARNING LIGHTS AND ALARM(Both Models)1.Turn the ignition key to the ON position, but DO NOT start the engine.
2.View the warning light gauge. The red lights contain- ing each symbol for water temperature and oil pres- sure should be illuminated and the warning buzzer should also be on.
Once the engine is running, the buzzer and the warning lights should turn off. During operation, if the buzzer or warning lights come on, this indicates either high coolant temperature or low oil pressure.
If the lights are not visible, or the buzzer can not be heard, please contact your Ferris dealer.
