5.13 Checking Radiator Hoses

When

Overview

Procedure

Check the condition of the radiator hoses every 250 hours.

Dry, cracked radiator hoses or loose clamps can cause a coolant leak. A coolant leak will cause the engine to overheat, possibly leading to permanent damage. Regular inspection of the radiator hoses will help to identify coolant leaks.

There are two radiator hoses on the LTN. The upper hose (a) supplies coolant to the engine. The lower hose (b) returns coolant to the radiator.

wc_gr009375

Perform the procedure below to check the radiator hoses.

1. Inspect each hose for cuts, cracks, abrasions, or bulges. Replace the hose if any of these conditions exist.

Result

2. Squeeze each hose to check the elasticity. A hose in serviceable condition will yield to slight pressure. Replace the hose if it appears to be stiff or brittle.

3. Check the hose clamps (c) to make sure that they are tight. Check for coolant leaks at the hose connections. Tighten loose clamps as needed.

The radiator hoses have now been checked.

5.15 Testing the Cooling System Pressure

When

Background

Requirements

Test the cooling system pressure every 1200 hours, or 24 months (whichever comes first).

The cooling system is under pressure while the engine is operating. Internal or external leaks will cause the cooling system to lose pressure. These leaks can be detected by forcing pressurized air into the radiator cap and cooling system while the engine is stopped.

WARNING

Burn hazard. Engine coolant is hot and under pressure at operating temperature. f Test the cooling system pressure only when the engine is stopped and the radi-

ator is cool to the touch.

WARNING

Burn hazard. Engine coolant may contain alkali. f Avoid coolant contact with skin and eyes.

 Engine is stopped and cool to the touch  Pressure test kit  Cooling system filled (see Checking the Engine Coolant Level)

Procedure

Perform the following procedure to test the cooling system pressure.

1. Slowly rotate the radiator cap (a) counterclockwise to release any remaining system pressure. Unscrew and remove the radiator cap after the pressure has been released.

wc_gr009369

2. Note the rated operating pressure marked on the outside of the radiator cap. When this pressure level is reached, a relief valve in the cap discharges coolant into the overflow bottle.

seasons old, or does not meet the average lowest temperature for your area.

 If your machine has an engine equipped with a fuel valve, start the engine, close

the fuel valve, and run the engine until it stops.

 Consult the engine owner’s manual for instructions on preparing the engine for

storage.

After completing the procedures listed above, fill the fuel tank completely and add a high-quality stabilizer to the fuel.

 Choose a stabilizer that includes cleaning agents and additives designed to

coat/protect the cylinder walls.

 Make sure the stabilizer you use is compatible with the fuel in your area, fuel

type, grade and temperature range. Do not add extra alcohol to fuels which already contain it (for example, E10).

 For engines with diesel fuel, use a stabilizer with a biocide to restrict or prevent

bacteria and fungus growth.

 Add the correct amount of stabilizer per the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Storing the machine

Perform these remaining steps to store your machine.

 Wash the machine and allow it to dry.  Move the machine to a clean, dry, secure storage location. Block or chock

wheels to prevent machine movement.

 Use touch-up paint as needed to protect exposed metal against rust.  If the machine has a battery, either remove or disconnect it.

NOTICE: Allowing the battery to freeze or completely discharge is likely to cause permanent damage. Periodically charge the battery while the machine is not in use. In cold climates, store and charge the battery indoors or in a warm location.

 Cover the machine. Tires and other exposed rubber items should be protected

from the weather. Either cover them or use a readily available protectant.
