ANTIFREEZE(F)
(P/N 619 590 204)
Alternative, or
if not available
Distilled water and
antifreeze solution
(50% distilled water,
50% antifreeze)
NOTICE
A blend of 50% antifreeze
with 50% distilled water will im-
prove the cooling efficiency. Using
water tap instead of distilled water,
would contribute to make deposits
in cooling system and to reduce an-
tifreeze efficiency. This could lead to
engine overheating.
To prevent antifreeze deterioration, al-
ways use the same brand. Never mix
different brands unless cooling system
is completely flushed and refilled.
NOTICE
To prevent rust formation
or freezing condition in cold areas,
always replenish the system with
50% antifreeze and 50% distilled wa-
ter. Pure antifreeze will freeze at a
higher temperature than the opti-
mal water/antifreeze mix. Always
use ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors specif-
ically recommended for aluminum
engines.
Injection Oil
Adding Injection Oil

TYPICAL
1. Oil reservoir
Unscrew injection oil reservoir cap to
fill up reservoir then fully tighten.
NOTICE
Check level and refill ev-
ery time you refuel.
WARNING
Do not overfill. Reinstall cap and
fully tighten.
Wipe off any oil
spills. Oil is highly flammable
when heated.
Exhaust System
Exhaust System Verification
The tail pipe of the muffler should be
centered with the exit hole in the bot-
tom pan. Exhaust system must be
free of rust or leaks. Make sure that all
parts are securely in place.
Check retaining springs condition and
replace if necessary.
The exhaust system is designed to re-
duce noise and to improve the total
performance of the engine. Modifica-
tion may be in violation of local laws.
NOTICE
If any exhaust system
component is removed, modified
or damaged, severe engine damage
may result.
