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 past the
pressure 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 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. We recommends the use of a 50/50 mixture of high quality
aluminum compatible anti-freeze coolant and distilled water.
NOTE: Always follow the manufacturer
’s
mixing
recommendations for the freeze protection required in your area.
