WARNING:
It is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the system is hot. Allow the system to cool
before removing the radiator cap.
1. Turn the radiator cap counter-clockwise to the first stop to
release any pressure.
2. Push downward on the cap and turn counter-clockwise
until the cap stops then lift cap OFF.
3. Slowly pour coolant into the filler neck until the level
reaches the bottom of the filler neck overflow flange.
4. Wait a few minutes to allow as much air as possible to
escape through the filler neck, then reinstall the radiator
cap.
5. Fill the overflow reservoir to the "FULL" mark.
6. Start the engine and allow it to run for a short period. Stop
the engine.
7. Recheck the coolant level in the overflow reservoir and
refill as needed. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
8. If engine over-temp light comes ON or stays ON after filling
radiator and reservoir, see your Cub Cadet service dealer to
bleed air from system.
Changing the Engine Coolant (EFI & Diesel Powered Models
Only)
The engine coolant should be drained and replaced with new
coolant solution every two years or 500 hours. See your Cub
Cadet service dealer to have the engine coolant changed.
Cooling System Hoses (EFI & Diesel Powered Models Only)
Check the cooling system hoses and water pump belt for any
cracks or deterioration after every 100 hours of operation. Check
for loose hose connections. Replace any damaged hoses and
tighten any loose connections. Replace a worn or damaged
water pump belt.
Servicing the Fuel Filter (Diesel Models Only)
WARNING:
Do not service the fuel filter when
tractor is hot or near any source of ignition. Allow
the tractor to cool.
The UV is equipped with an in-line fuel filter and water separator
located on the right side of the UV underneath the passenger
seat.
WARNING:
Diesel fuel is a toxic substance. Dispose
of in an environmentally safe manner. Contact your
area EPA office for proper disposal methods and
recycling center locations.
Draining the Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is equipped with a valve to drain condensate
(water) that has separated from the diesel fuel and settled at the
bottom of the filter.
Drain the condensate from the fuel filter before each use. You
can access the fuel filter beneath the passenger seat. Refer to
Figure 5-3.
Figure 5-3
1. Stop the engine and raise the passenger seat by removing
the wing nut securing it to the frame.
2. Place a suitable container beneath the filter drain valve.
3. Turn the filter drain counter-clockwise to open. Allow the
water at the bottom of the filter to drain until only pure
diesel fuel drains from the valve. See Figure 5-4.
