Removal (Fig. 8)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting
decks, stop engine, apply parking brake and remove
key from the ignition switch.
2. Open and support hood.
CAUTION
Do not open radiator cap or drain coolant if the
radiator or engine is hot. Pressurized, hot cool-
ant can escape and cause burns.
Ethylene--glycol antifreeze is poisonous. Dis-
pose of coolant properly or store it in a properly
labeled container away from children and pets.

diator drain. The radiator drain hose is located near the
engine oil filter.
4. Disconnect upper and lower radiator hoses from the
radiator.
5. Remove air cleaner hose (item 61).
6. Disconnect reservoir hose from the vent tube near
the radiator cap.
7. Detach upper radiator shroud from the radiator and
lower radiator shroud. Remove upper shroud from ma-
chine.
8. Remove fasteners that secure lower radiator shroud
to radiator.
9. Remove six (6) flange head screws and flange nuts
that secure fan motor bracket to radiator.
10.Position lowerradiator shroud and fan motor bracket
assembly away from radiator.
11.Removecapscrews and flange nuts securing the ra-
diator to the support frame. Carefully pull radiator from
the machine.
12.Plug allradiatoror hose openingstoprevent contam-

Installation (Fig. 8)
1. Remove all plugs placed during the removal proce-
dure.
2. Carefully position radiator to the support frame. Se-

4. Secure fan motor bracket to radiator with six (6)
flange head screws and flange nuts.
5. Position upper radiator shroud to lower radiator
shroud to radiator. Secure shrouds with removed fas-
teners.
6. Attach radiator shroud assembly to the radiator with
cap screws and flat washers. Make sure that clearance
between shroud and cooling fan is at least 0.180” (4.6
mm) at all points.
7. Connect reservoir hose to the vent tube near the ra-
diator cap.
8. Connectupperand lower radiator hosesto the radia-
tor.
9. Reinstall air cleaner hose (item 61).
10.Make sure radiator drain is c losed. Fill radiator with
