MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Engine Cooling System

Coolant Level

The recovery bottle (1) is located on the right side of the

vehicle under the front fender. The fluid level must be

maintained between the FULL (2) and ADD (3) marks on

the side panel (when the fluid is cool).

As coolant operating temperature increases, the

expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the

radiat or, past the pressure cap, and into the recovery

bottle. As engine coolant t emperature decreases, the

contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the

tank, past the pressure cap, and into the radiator.

NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new machines is

normal, as the system is purging itself of trapped

air. Observe coolant levels and maintain as

recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.
