NOTICE
Do not exceed the recommended amount of sup-
plemental coolant additive concentration. Excessive
supplemental coolant additive concentration can form
deposits on the higher temperature surfaces of the
cooling system, reducing the engine's heat transfer
characteristics. Reduced heat transfer could cause
cracking of the cylinder head and other high temper-
ature components. Excessive supplemental coolant
additive concentration could also result in radiator
tube blockage, overheating, and/or accelerated water
pump seal wear. Never use both liquid supplemental
coolant additive and the spin-on element (if equipped)
at the same time. The use of those additives together
could result in supplemental coolant additive concen-
tration exceeding the recommended maximum.
Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause seri-
ous burns. To open the cooling system
fi
ller cap,
stop the engine and wait until the cooling system
components are cool. Loosen the cooling system
pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the pres-
sure.
NOTICE
When any servicing or repair of the engine cooling
system is performed the procedure must be performed
with the engine on level ground. This will allow you to
accurately check the coolant level. This will also help
in avoiding the risk of introducing an air lock into the
coolant system.
1.
Slowly loosen the cooling system
fi
ller cap in
order to relieve the pressure. Remove the cooling
system
fi
ller cap.
Note:
Always discard drained
fl
uids according to
local regulations.
2.
If necessary, drain some coolant from the cooling
system into a suitable container in order to allow
space for the extra SCA.
3.
Add the correct amount of SCA. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Re
fi
ll
Capacities and Recommendations” for more
information on SCA requirements.
4.
Clean the cooling system
fi
ller cap and inspect the
gasket. If the gasket is damaged, discard the old
fi
ller cap and install a new
fi
ller cap. If the gasket
is not damaged, use a suitable pressurizing pump
in order to pressure test the
fi
ller cap. The correct
pressure is stamped on the face of the
fi
ller cap. If
the
fi
ller cap does not retain the correct pressure,
install a new
fi
ller cap.

Engine - Clean
Personal injury or death can result from high volt-
age.
Moisture can create paths of electrical conductiv-
ity.
Make sure that the electrical system is OFF. Lock
out the starting controls and tag the controls “DO
NOT OPERATE”.

Periodic cleaning of the engine is recommended.
Steam cleaning the engine will remove accumulated
oil and grease. A clean engine provides the following
