4.7.13.d CHANGING THE COOLANT
DANGER
• Soon after the machine has been stopped the coolant is
very hot and under pressure and it may cause serious
burns; let the engine cool down until it reaches approxi-
mately 40-45°C before changing the coolant.
• Slowly loosen the radiator cap, in order to release the re-
sidual pressure.
• Oils, filters, coolants and batteries are considered special
waste and must be collected and disposed of according to
the anti-pollution regulations in force.
• The change of the permanent coolant does not require the
descaling of the circuit.
1 - Open the engine hood (See “3.5.1 ENGINE HOOD”).
2 - Loosen and remove the upper cap (1) of the radiator.
3 - Loosen and remove the drain plug (2) of the radiator, loosen
the drain valve (3) positioned on the engine block and let the
fluid flow out.
Use 6 and 12 mm hexagon spanners.
While the fluid flows out, drain the coolant tank (4).
4 - Put back the drain plug (2), close the valve (3) on the engine
block and fill the radiator with new fluid (see “4.3 FUEL, COOL-
ANT AND LUBRICANTS”).
5 - Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes; check the lev-
el again and if necessary top up before putting back the uppe
cap (1).
6 - Fill the tank (4) until reaching the maximum level.
7 - Close the engine hood.
