To inspect the coolant level:

Caution

Engine coolant escaping under pressure may cause

serious burns. Shut the engine off and let it cool

before removing the radiator cap.

1. Shut the engine off and wait for it to cool.

2. Check to make sure the coolant level is between the

Hot and Cold marks.

3. If necessary, remove the cap from the coolant reser-

voir and add coolant. Tightly replace the cap.

Note

Refer to Chapter 2 for engine coolant specifications. The

need to regularly add fluid indicates a leak that should

be corrected.

Hatz engines are air cooled.

To inspect the air intake:

1. Visually inspect the air intake and fan (refer to Figure

7.3) to be sure they are free of obstructions that could

stop or slow the flow of air.

Figure 7.3 – Air Intake

2. Inspect the fan belt to see that it is in place and not

cracked.

Radiator

To inspect the radiator:

1. Inspect the radiator hoses and clamps for wear, leak-

age, or damage (refer to Figure 7.2).

2. Make sure the hoses are not hardened, cracked, or

feel spongy.

3. Make sure the cap is in place and tight.

4. Check under the chassis for coolant that has leaked.

Coolant leaks are easily visible on the ground.

5. Make sure the radiator core and ventilation openings

on the cover are free of bugs, dirt, or foreign material

that might restrict airflow.

Fuel Tank

The fuel level gauge is behind the doors on the right side

of the chassis (refer to Figure 7.4). The gauge shows the

actual level of fluid in the tank.

Figure 7.4 – Fuel Tank

To inspect the fuel tank:

1. Open the doors on the right side of the chassis to

access the fuel gauge.

2. Check fuel level indicated on the gauge.

3. If necessary, remove the cap and add fuel.

Note

Refer to Chapter 2 for fuel grade specifications.

4. Make sure the cap is securely fastened.

Use the following procedure to change the LPG tank.

1. Close the shutoff valve (refer to Figure 7.5).
