Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
DizzinessIf you experience any of these symptoms, get out into fresh air immediately, shutdown the unit and do not use until it has been inspected.
External coolant leakage may occur at any joint in the engine water jacket, such as drain plugs, core hole plugs, or cylinder head joint.Since expansion or contraction can aggravate leakage, the block should be inspected both hot and cold while engine is running.
Internal leakage occurs when coolant passes into engine oil through a loose cylinder head joint or a cracked or porous casting.The leakage is not visible but may cause extensive damage to engine. Coolant mixes with the oil to form sludge, which causes lubrication failure. Heavy sludge accumulations followed by sticking piston rings, valves, and tappets are symptoms of internal leakage.
Thermostat does not start to open when suspended in water at 150°F or does not close within a short time after being removed from hot water.Replace thermostat if it is broken, corroded, or sticks in open or closed position. If engine overheats or does not reach and maintain a minimum operating temperature, thermostat should be removed and tested as a possible cause.
Draining cooling system to change anti-freeze solution or for out-of-service protection when only water is used, be sure to open all drains and hose connections where water could be trapped.The following drain plugs must be opened or removed to allow complete flushing of the cooling system. Radiator: One petcock lower right front corner. Engine Block One drain plug left front near water pump. Water Pumps: One drain plug under cover or by loosening cover.
Pressure cap malfunctions.Inspect pressure cap periodically for freedom of operation, and gasket should be checked for proper sealing. Replace pressure cap if it malfunctions.
