COOLING
GENERAL
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can allow
the
coolant
to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
I
NOTICE
I
Using coolant with silicate corrosion inhibitors may cause premature wear
of
water pump seals
or
blockage
of
radiator passages.
Using tap water
may
cause engine damage.
• Add coolant at the reserve tank.
Do
not remove the radiator cap except
to
refill or drain the system.
• All cooling system can be serviced with the engine
in
theframe.
• Avoid spilling coolant
on
painted surfaces.
• After servicing the system, check for leaks with a cooling system tester.
