4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent
a fire hazard.
CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM
Capacity of the cooling system is approximately 3.8
liters (4 qts.).
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 solution of
water and permanent ethylene glycol anti-freeze.
Check the level of coolant at beginning of each day
before starting the engine.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Check coolant level. Coolant should be up to the
COLD line on the reserve tank when the engine
is cold.

3. If coolant is low, remove the reserve tank cap
and add a 50/50 mixture of water and permanent
ethylene glycol anti-freeze. DO NOT OVER-
FILL.
4. Install the reserve tank cap.
CHECK THE TRANSAXLE /
HYDRAULIC FLUID
The transaxle reservoir is filled with Dexron II ATF.
Check the level before the engine is first started and
every 8 hours or daily, thereafter. Capacity of the
system is 7.1 l (7.5 qt).
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
Before Operating
12
Because fuel is flammable, caution must be
used when storing or handling it. Do not fill the
fuel tank while the engine is running, hot or
when the machine is in an enclosed area.
Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark
or flame source many feet away. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent
the possibility of an explosion. Always fill the
fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled fuel
before starting the engine. Use a funnel or spout
to prevent spilling, and fill the tank no higher
than 2.5 cm (one inch) below top of the tank,
(bottom of the filler neck). DO NOT OVER
FILL.
Store fuel in a clean safety approved container
and keep the cap on the container. Keep fuel in
a cool, well-ventilated place; never in an
enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. To
assure volatility, do not buy more than a 30-day
supply of gasoline, or a 6-month supply of
diesel fuel.
DANGER
If the engine has been running, pressurized hot
coolant can escape if radiator cap is removed
and cause burns. Allow the engine to cool at
least 15 minutes or until the radiator cap is
cool enough to touch without burning hand.
