4.17 WHEEL MOUNTING PROCEDURE____________________________________________

WARNING
!
Make sure the groomer is parked on a solid and level
surface. Never work on a groomer that is supported only
by the jack. Always use jack stands.
If only the front or rear of the groomer is raised, place
chocks in front of and behind the wheels that are not
raised.

4.18 CARE AND CLEANING _____________________________________________________

Wash the groomer and implements after each use. Keep
the equipment clean.
Note: Do not wash any portion of the equipment while it
is hot. Do not use high pressure spray or steam. Use cold
water and automotive cleaners.
1. Use compressed air to clean engine and radiator fins. A
special blow gun is available through your Jacobsen
Dealer.
2. Use only fresh water for cleaning your equipment.
Note: Use of salt water or effluent water has been known
to encourage rust and corrosion of metal parts resulting
in premature deterioration or failure. Damage of this
nature is not covered by the factory warranty.
3. Do not spray water directly at the instrument panel,
ignition switch, controller, or any other electrical
components, or at bearing housings and seals.

4.19 RADIATOR (DIESEL ENGINES) ______________________________________________

To prevent serious bodily injury from hot coolant or
steam blow-out, never attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is running. Stop the engine and wait
until it is cool. Even then, use extreme care when
removing the cap.
CAUTION
!
Do not pour cold water into a hot radiator. Do not operate
engine without a proper coolant mixture. Install cap and
tighten securely.
Check coolant level daily. Radiator should be FULL and
recovery bottle should be up to the COLD mark.

between mounting surface of wheel and hub or brake
drum.

criss-cross order; always tighten nuts in the top
position.

95 ft.lbs. (115-128 Nm).
4. Clean all plastic or rubber trim with a mild soap solution
or use commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaners.
Repair damaged metal surfaces and use Jacobsen touch-
up paint. Wax the equipment for maximum paint protection.
CAUTION
!
Clean grass and debris from attachments, drives,
muffler, and engine to prevent fires.
WARNING
!
NEVER use your hands to clean attachments, use a
brush. Attachment edges can be extremely sharp and
can cause serious injuries.
Drain and refill annually. Remove the radiator cap, open the
engine block drain and the radiator drain. Empty and clean
the recovery bottle.
Mix clean water with ethylene glycol based anti-freeze for
the coldest ambient temperature. Read and follow the
instructions on the anti-freeze container and Engine
Manual.
Keep radiator air passages clean. Use compressed air (30
psi maximum) to clean the fins.
Check and tighten the fan belt. Replace clamps and hoses
every two years.
If you have to add coolant more than once a month, or add
more than one quart at a time, have an authorized Jacobsen
Dealer check the cooling system.
