CHECK ANTIFREEZE LEVEL
The engine coolant level and quality should be checked
before each use, when the engine is cool and off.
1. Check the coolant in the overflow reservoir (A,
Figures 11A & 11B). Coolant should be between the
“FULL” and “LOW” marks on the tank.
2. If coolant level is below the “LOW” on the overflow
reservoir, add coolant by shutting off the engine,
allowing the engine to cool, removing the reservoir
cap (B, Figures 11A & 11B) and adding coolant.
Refer to Antifreeze container for proper mix ratio of
Antifreeze and distilled water.
CHANGE ANTIFREEZE
See engine owners manual for specific antifreeze proce-
dures. The antifreeze drain valve is located at the base
of the right-hand side of the radiator.
CLEAN RADIATOR SCREENS
Clean the radiator screens before each use to allow
proper air-flow through radiator and engine compart-
ment.
1. Open the hood
2. Slide both radiator screens (A, Figure 12) up and out
of the mounting tracks.
3. Clean all dirt, grass, and debris from the screens.
4. Reinstall the screens.
CHECK WARNING LIGHTS AND
BUZZER.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, but DO NOT
start the engine.
2. View the warning light gauge. The red lights contain-
ing each symbol for water temperature and oil pres-
sure should be illuminated and the warning buzzer
should also be on.
Once the engine is running, the buzzer and the warning
lights should turn off. During operation, if the buzzer or
warning lights come on, this indicates either high coolant
temperature or low oil pressure.
If the lights are not visible, or the buzzer can not be
heard, please contact your Ferris dealer.
