Each unit is supplied with a coolant recovery kit (#24977) as standard equipment which must be installed

and

the following applies:

Remove the pressure cap from the engine's exhaust manifold and slowly fill the engine's cooling

system with a mixture

water

and

antifreeze suitable for your temperature zone. Operate the

engine and observe the coolant level in the manifold. Maintain this level to the base

the filler

neck.

Once

the

engine reaches its operating temperature (170 - 190°F), make sure there is no

problem with a coolant flow through the manifold. Top

off

the cooling system and install the

pressure cap.

B. Make sure the plastic recovery tank is properly mounted near the unit (with the bracket

provided), in a location where it can be monitored and filled easily. The recovery tank should be

mounted at manifold level or above. In these installations that require it, the plastic recovery tank

can be mounted below the exhaust manifold's level. Fill this tank halffull.

Monitor the coolant level in the plastic recovery tank daily and add coolant as needed. Some

coolant will be lost through evaporation. This will be minimal. Periodically check that the manifold

is full

coolant when the system is cold.

Make sure the Installation

Checks have been made in accordance with those specified in the

"Installation Checks" section
