ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Take care not to spill coolant onto hot
engine parts. It may ignite and produce
invisible flames. Wear latex gloves
during servicing. Have the coolant
changed at an
aprilia
Authorised
Dealer.
Coolant mixture is a 50% solution of water
and antifreeze.
This is the ideal solution for most operating
temperatures and provides good corrosion
protection.
This solution is also suited to the warm
season, as the mixture is less prone to
evaporative loss and will reduce the need for
top-ups.
In addition, less water evaporation means
fewer mineral salts depositing in the radiator,
which helps preserve the efficiency of the
cooling system.
When temperature drops below zero
degrees centigrade, check the cooling
system frequently and add more antifreeze
(up to 60% maximum) to the solution.
Use distilled water in the coolant mixture.
Tap water will damage the engine.
WARNING
Do not remove the expansion tank plug
( 1 ) w h e n t h e e n g i n e i s h o t , s i n c e

Contact with skin or clothes, may cause
severe scalding and/or damage.
