MAINTENANCE
Engine Cooling System
Coolant Level
The recovery bottle (1) is
located on the left side of the
machine. To access the
recovery bottle, remove the
left side panel as outlined on
page 82.
Maintain the coolant level
between the minimum and
maximum marks on the
bottle (when the fluid i s
cool). Add coolant as
needed.
Cooling System Operation
The engine coolant level is controlled or maintained by the recovery
system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle,
radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated)
excess coolant is forced out of the radiator, p ast the p ressure cap , and
into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases, the
contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank, past the
pressure cap, and into the radiator.
NOTE: Some c oolant level drop on new machines is nor mal, as the
system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant
levels and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to
the r ecovery bot tle.
