------ WARNING! ------

Pressurized system: Hot coolant can cause serious burn. To open cap, stop engine, wait until radiator is cool. Then loosen cap slowly to relieve the pressure.


When a AVSpare Extended Life Coolant is used, an extender must be added to the cooling system periodically.

  1. Open the engine access door. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Access Doors and Covers".

  2. Tilt the radiator guard upward. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Radiator Tilting".

    Typical Example

    Note: The radiator cap is located on the left side of the engine compartment on machines that are equipped with the C2.2 engine. The radiator cap is located on the right side of the engine compartment on machines that are equipped with the C3.4 engine.

  3. Slowly loosen the radiator cap in order to relieve system pressure. Remove the radiator cap.

  4. If necessary, drain enough coolant from the radiator in order to allow the addition of the coolant additive.

  5. Add 0.17 L (0.18 qt) of cooling system additive.

  6. Inspect the radiator cap and the gasket. If the cap or the gasket is damaged, replace the cap. Install the radiator cap.

    Typical Example

    Note: The sight gauge for the coolant level is located on the right side of the engine compartment on machines that are equipped with the C2.2 engine. The sight gauge for the coolant level is located on the left side of the engine compartment on machines that are equipped with the C3.4 engine.

  7. Check the coolant level in the sight gauge on the radiator. Maintain the coolant level to the top of the sight gauge with the radiator in the LOWERED position.

  8. Tilt the radiator guard downward.

  9. Close the engine access door.

For additional information on the addition of extender, see Special Publication, SEBU6250, "AVSpare Machine Fluids Recommendations".
