FILLING COOLING SYSTEM

WARNING: Make sure engine cooling system is cool before removing pressure cap or any hose. The cooling system is pressurized when hot. Severe personal injury may result from escaping hot coolant.

CAUTION: Do not use well water, or suspect water supply in cooling system. A 50/50 mixture of the recommended ethylene glycol and distilled water is recommended. For recommended coolant usage, .

NOTE: For cooling system capacity .

1. Close radiator draincock. Hand tighten only.
2. Remove the cooling system pressure cap. Install Tool 8195 Filling Aid Funnel.
3. Use the supplied clip to pinch overflow hose.

NOTE: Be careful not to spill coolant on drive belts or the generator.

NOTE: While filling the cooling system, pour coolant into the larger section of the Tool 8195, Filling Aid Funnel.











4. Pour coolant into system until funnel is full.
5. Start engine and run at 1500 - 2000 rpm to force air bubbles out.
6. Remove clip from overflow hose and release excess coolant in funnel into coolant recovery container.
7. Install cooling system pressure cap.

CAUTION: Coolant may leak out of the bottle overflow tube if filling too rapidly.

8. Slowly fill coolant reserve/recovery bottle to at least the FULL HOT mark with the recommended coolant. It may be necessary to add additional coolant to the reserve/recovery bottle after three or four warm-up/cool down cycles to maintain coolant level between the FULL HOT and ADD marks. This is due to the removal of trapped air from the system.
