COOLANT

Do not use the vehicle if the
coolant is below the minimum
prescribed level.
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
Check the coolant level every 2000 km and
after long rides; change it every 2 years.
Have the coolant changed by an
aprilia Official Dealer.
The coolant is made up of 50% water and
50% antifreeze.
This mixture is ideal for most running tem-
peratures and ensures good protection
against corrosion.
It is advisable to keep the same mixture
also in the hot season, since in this way
losses due to evaporation are reduced and
it is not necessary to top up very frequent-
ly.
The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator
by evaporated water are thus reduced and
the efficiency of the cooling system re-
mains unchanged.
If the outdoor temperature is below 0°,
check the cooling circuit frequently and if
necessary increase the antifreeze concen-
tration (up to maximum 60%).
Do not remove the expansion
tank cap when the engine is hot,
since the coolant is under pres-
sure and its temperature is high.
If it gets in contact with the skin or with
clothes it may cause severe burns
and/or damages.
The coolant is noxious:
DO NOT SWALLOW IT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE COOLANT IN
THE ENVIRONMENT.
