Figure 7.2 – Coolant Reservoir
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.
. Shut the engine off and wait for it to cool.
2. Check to make sure there is coolant in the reservoir,
but not above the Hot level indicator.
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.
Deutz engines are air cooled. To check the air cooling
system:
. 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.
2. Inspect the fan belt to see that it is in place and not
cracked.

Radiator
To inspect the radiator:
. Inspect the radiator hoses and clamps for wear, leak-
age, or damage.
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 on gasoline and diesel fuel tanks
is behind the front cowling door on the left side of the
machine (refer to Figure 7.4). The gauge measures the
level of fluid in /6ths of a tank full.
