REPAIRING RADIATOR LEAKS
Cooling system leaks should be repaired promptly to prevent
equipment damage or possible injury. The use of “stop-leak”
type additives is not recommended.
ANTI-FREEZE
Freezing temperatures can quickly and severely damage the
engine if the cooling system is unprotected. Use antifreeze
when temperatures fall below 32
o
F (0
o
C).
1. Only use permanent anti-freeze in this engine.
2. Completely drain and flush the cooling system with clean
water before adding anti-freeze.
3. Mix the proper amounts of anti-freeze and pure water in
accordance with SAE J1034 and SAE J814C based on the
expected ambient temperature.
4. Mix the anti-freeze and water before pouring it in the cool-
ing system.
CLEANING THE RADIATOR
Clean the cooling system every 500 hours or as needed. Clean-
ing may be required more often in severe service conditions.
Always clean the system when replacing the engine coolant.
