When the coolant level is below the LOWER limit,
remove reservoir tank cap and add coolant till upper
limit.
(Add coolant or diluted original liquid).
Recommended coolant: CFMOTO coolant
Standard density: 50%
( Freezing temperature of coolant varies according to
the different mixture ratio. Adjust the mixture ratio
according to the lowest temperature in the place where
the vehicle is used.)
If the coolant reduces very fast, check if there is any
leakage.
The cooling system may be mixed with air when there
is no
coolant in the reservoir tank and the air should be
discharged
before adding coolant.
Coolant Leakage
Check radiator hose, water pump, water pipes and
joints for leakage.
In case of any leakage, disassemble and do further
check.
(Refer to Chapter 4)
Check the radiator hose for aging, damages or cracks.
The rubber hose will naturally get aged after a period
of service time. The aged hose may get cracked when
the cooling system is heated. Nip the hose with fin-
gers and check if there are any tiny cracks.
In case of any abnormal, replace with a new hose.
Check the clamps of the coolant pipes and hose.
Tighten properly in case of any looseness.
Check radiator fins for mud and dust clog or damage.
Correct the bent fins; clean the mud with water and
compressed air. When the damaged area of the ra-
diator fin is over 20%, replace with a new radiator.
