CHECKING AND TOPPING UP
WARNING
Wait for the engine to cool down before
checking or topping up coolant level.
• Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled down.
NOTE Position the vehicle on firm and flat ground.
• Remove the front cover, see (REMOVING THE
FRONT COVER).
• Ensure that fluid level inside expansion tank (2) is
between “MIN” and “MAX” notches.
MIN = minimum level.
MAX = maximum level.
If not so:
• Loosen the filler plug (1) (by turning it anticlockwise),
without removing it.
• Wait a few seconds in order to release any residual
pressure.
• Unscrew and remove the plug (1).
WARNING
Do not add additives or other substances to the
fluid.
• Top up with coolant, see (LUBRICANT CHART), until
level reaches approximately “MAX” mark.
• Level should not exceed this mark, or fluid will leak out
during engine operation.
• Put back the filling cap (1).
WARNING
If coolant level drops too quickly or the
expansion tank is empty, check the cooling
circuit for leaks.
