It’s important to check the coolant level when the tractor is cold. If you’re ever operating the tractor and the coolant warning light illuminates, park the tractor in a safe location (as soon as you’re able) and turn the tractor off. Once the tractor is cold, check coolant, as instructed below.
The coolant reservoir illuminates, allowing you to gauge the level of coolant. If the coolant level is lower than the max fill line, add coolant.
To check coolant level:
- Make sure that the tractor is turned off.
- Make sure that the tractor is cool to the touch.
- Do one of the following:
- Shine a light into the slot between panels on the left-hand side of the tractor (as shown in the image below).
- Open the top panel and remove the tool tray, then shine a flashlight down at the coolant reservoir.

To add coolant:
- Make sure the tractor is cold.
- Remove the lid of the coolant reservoir.
- Add coolant as needed to the MAX line. Use a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and propylene glycol. Using distilled water avoids calcium buildup in the reservoir.
