Checking the Coolant Level in
the Reservoir
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Important: Do not remove the radiator filler cap during
this procedure.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
and remove the ignition key.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Open the front hood.
4. Check the coolant level in the reservoir

5. Add the specified coolant until the coolant level is 1/2
the reservoir capacity.
Note: Ensure that the coolant solution is thoroughly
mixed before filling the reservoir.
Checking the Coolant Level in
the Radiator
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
WARNING
If the engine has been running, the radiator will be
pressurized and the coolant inside will be hot. If
you remove the cap, coolant may spray out, causing
severe burns.
• Do not remove the radiator cap to check coolant
levels.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine
is hot. Allow the engine to cool for at least 15
minutes or until the radiator cap is cool enough
to touch without burning your hand.
Note: The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and ethylene-glycol antifreeze.

height)
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
and remove the ignition key.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Open the front hood and rear hood.
4. Remove the radiator cap from the filler neck of the
radiator and check the coolant level
Figure
101).
Note: The coolant should be up to the filler neck.

height)
5. If the coolant level is low, add coolant until the level is
up to the bottom of the filler neck
Important: Do not overfill the radiator.
Note: If the radiator coolant level is low and the
coolant reservoir level is at the Full mark, check for air
leaks in the hose between the radiator and the coolant
reservoir.
6. Install the radiator filler cap, ensuring that it is tightly
sealed
(Figure
101).
7. If the air temperature is below 0°C (32°F), mix the
ethylene glycol and water completely by running the
engine at operating temperature for 5 minutes.
