Warning: Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali. At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.

Cooling System Coolant Level - Check

Open the left rear access door.

Check the coolant level of the coolant reservoir. Maintain the coolant level between the “FULL” mark and the “LOW” mark.

If additional coolant is necessary, remove the reservoir cap and add the appropriate coolant solution.

Cooling System Coolant (ELC) - Change

WARNING: Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali.

At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.

Remove cooling system pressure cap slowly to relieve pressure only when engine is stopped and cooling system pressure cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.

Do not attempt to tighten hose connections when the coolant is hot, the hose can come off causing burns.

Cooling System Coolant Additive contains alkali. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

NOTICE: Do not change the coolant until you read and understand the cooling system information in Special Publication, SEBU6250, “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations”. Failure to do so could result in damage to the cooling system components.

Mixing ELC with other products will reduce the effectiveness of the coolant.
