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.
4. Drain coolant from the radiator into a suitable con-
tainer (see Radiator Removal in this section). Discon-
nect upper and lower hoses from the radiator.
CAUTION
The muffler and exhaust pipe may be hot. To
avoid possible burns, allow the exhaust system
to cool before working on or near the muffler.
5. Remove exhaust system from engine (see Exhaust
System Removal in this section).
6. Remove air cleaner system from engine (see Air Fil-
ter System Removal in this section).
7. Note location of cable ties used to secure wire har-
ness to the machine. Disconnect wires and/or electrical
connections from the following electrical components:
A. The dual temperature switch, temperature sen-
der and alternator (Fig 10).
B. The glow plugs (Fig. 11).
C. The engine run solenoid ( Fig. 12).
D. Battery,frame and wire harness ground attheen-
gine block.
E. The electric starter and low oil pressure switch
(near electric starter).
8. Disconnect fuel line from injection pump.
9. Disconnect throttle cable from the speed control le-
ver by removing the flat washer and lock nut (Fig. 13).
Loosen jam nut and separate cable from cable support.
Position cable away from engine.
10.Remove fasteners that secure the upper radiator
shroud to the lower shroud and radiator (see Radiator
Removal in this section). Position coolant reservoir and
bracket away from the radiator. Remove upper radiator
shroud from machine.
