The cooling system pressure cap is located on the top of the engine enclosure at the front of the machine.
- Remove the pressure cap slowly in order to release any pressure.
- Maintain the coolant level within 13 mm (0.5 inch) of the bottom of the filler pipe.
Note: If it is necessary to add coolant daily, check for leaks.
- Inspect the pressure cap and the cap seal. Clean the cap with a clean cloth or replace the cap, if necessary. Install the pressure cap.
- Check the radiator core for debris. Clean the radiator core, if necessary.
Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Radiator Core - Clean" for the correct procedure.
