tank, (bottom of the filler neck). Do not overfill. Install
the cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent a fire
hazard.
Checking the Cooling System
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of water
and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze. Check the
coolant level at the beginning of each day before starting
the engine. The cooling system capacity is approximately
5-1/4 quarts.
1. Clean debris off of the radiator screen, radiator, and oil
cooler (Fig. 23) daily or hourly if conditions are
extremely dusty and dirty; refer to Cleaning the
Radiator and Screen, page 36.

Checking the Hydraulic System
Fluid
The hydraulic system is designed to operate on anti-wear
hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic reservoir is filled at the
factory with approximately 3.3 gallons (12.5 l) of Mobil
424 hydraulic fluid. Check the level of hydraulic fluid
before the engine is first started and daily thereafter.
