Cooling System
When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood, here’s what
you’ll see:
A. Engine Fan
B. Coolant Surge Tank
If your vehicle has a Caterpillar
®
diesel engine, see the
Caterpillar
®
Diesel Engine Operation and Maintenance
Manual provided with your vehicle.
If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling,
don’t do anything else until it cools down. The vehicle
should be parked on a level surface.
The coolant level should
be at COLD FILL or
higher. If it isn’t, you may
have a leak at the
pressure cap or in the
radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water
pump or somewhere else
in the cooling system.
{
CAUTION:
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine
parts, can be very hot. Do not touch them. If
you do, you can be burned.
Do not run the engine if there is a leak. If you
run the engine, it could lose all coolant. That
could cause an engine fire, and you could be
burned. Get any leak fixed before you drive the
vehicle.
