NOTE: If a stronger antifreeze mixture is
required, ensure not to exceed the
engine manufacturer’s guidelines for
antifreeze-water mixing. Refer to
“ASTM D 6210” or “ASTM D 7715”
standards for further information.
The following Ethylene Glycol Table gives
a few examples of ethylene glycol antifreeze/
water mixture protection values.
Coolant concentration should be checked
every 500 hours of operation or at the
beginning of each spray season, whichever
occurs first. A refractometer should be used
to check concentration.
NOTE: “Floating Ball” type density testers
are not accurate for use with a heavy
duty diesel cooling system.
Changing Coolant
Coolant should be changed periodically to
eliminate the buildup of harmful chemicals.
Drain and replace the coolant every other
spray season or 1,000 hours of operation,
whichever occurs first. Refill with soft water
only, as hard water contains minerals, which
break down the anti-corrosion properties of
the antifreeze.
Further Information
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s
operation manual for further information.
Engine Fuel
NOTE: Keep a fire extinguisher nearby
when refueling.
DO NOT fill fuel tank completely. Fuel can
expand and run over. Wipe up all spilled fuel
and clean with detergent and water before
starting the engine.
Capacity
•
Fuel Tank Capacity = 150 gallons (567L)
Type
•
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel
required.
Filling the Fuel Tank
NOTE: Your machine is featured with a fuel
fill ladder (located beneath the fuel
tank on the right-hand side of
machine) for ease in accessing the

CAUTION
COOLING SYSTEM REQUIRES
SPECIAL FILL PROCEDURE
• Open cab heater water valve by turning the
cab temperature knob to “Heat” with
ignition on.
• Fill radiator to bottom of fill neck using
50/50 EG coolant mixture.
• If radiator is drained completely and
refilled faster than 3 gpm (11.4 l/min),
radiator may need to be topped off.
• Run engine at operating temperature for
5 minutes.
• Shut off engine.
• Wait until coolant is below 122° F before
removing cap to check coolant level.
• Top off cooling system if required.
• See operator’s manual for total cooling
system volume.
CAUTION
DIESEL FUEL CAN BE DANGEROUS
• Turn off engine before refueling.
• Do not smoke while refueling.
• Clear off any spilled fuel after refueling.
