WARNING:
BURN HAZARD!
WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE COOLS BEFORE YOU DRAIN THE
ENGINE COOLANT. HOT ENGINE COOLANT MAY SPLASH AND BURN YOU.
For All Models
To check the coolant level, ensure that the engine has been shut down for at least half
an hour.
For Canal Boats & Work Boats
The coolant level can be checked visually and should be between the two level marks
formed on the front of the white plastic expansion tank.
For River Boats
Remove the lid from the water cooled exhaust manifold/heat exchanger. The level
should be ½” (13mm) below the filler neck.
For All Models
If required, top up the level with coolant (50% clean tap water and 50% ethylene glycol
based anti-freeze) through the expansion tank filler cap.
Do not use water only to top up as this weakens the coolant mix, reducing the level of
frost protection and anti-corrosion protection of the coolant.
