THERMOSTAT SWITCH INSTALLATION
1.
Apply Loctite 567 Liquid Thread Sealer to the threads of the thermostat switch.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not use any thread-sealing tape on the threads of the thermostat switch. The housing of the
thermostat switch must make a good connection to the engine block. If thread sealer insulates
the thermostat switch housing from the engine block, the radiator fan will not function and the
high-temperature warning lamp will not illuminate. Thus, the engine will over-heat and the operator
will not be alerted to the potential engine damage.
2.
Hand-tighten the thermostat switch and then tighten two full revolutions.
3.
Connect the two-pin connector from the thermostat switch to the wire harness.
4.
Tighten the radiator cap. Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If the coolant level is at or below the LOW
mark, add pre-mixed coolant until the level reaches the FULL mark.
