Operation 2 - Radiator Coolant Level
With the engine cold, remove the radiator filler cap and
check that the cooland level is flush with the bottom of
the filler tube. Top up, as necessary.
The coolant to be used is dependent upon local
availability. It is recommended that the solution of 50%
antifreeze (no matter what degree of freeze protection
is required) be used. See also Operation 48 for details.
WARNING :
The cooling system operates
under pressure which is controlled by the radiator
cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap while the system
is hot. Allow the engine to cool, then using a thick cloth,
turn the cap slowly to the first stop and allow the
pressure to escape before fully removing the cap.
WARNING :
Antifreeze solution is irritating to
eyes and skin. Adhere to the precautions outlined
on the antifreeze container. Also,
l
avoid contact with eyes or prolonged and repeated
skin contact
l
wear protective eye wear when using antifreeze.
l
in case of contact with eyes, flush with water for
15 minutes and obtain prompt medical attention.
l
wash skin with soap and water after use.
l
keep out of reach of children.
IMPORTANT : It is essential that an approved cap is
used. If the original cap is mislaid or damaged, obtain a
replacement from your Authorized Dealer.

Air Cleaner
The function of the air cleaner is to remove impurities
from the air while allowing sufficient volume of air to
enter the engine and ensure complete combustion of
the fuel.
The air cleaner will only fulfill this function if it is correctly
and regularly maintained. A poorly maintained air cleaner
will result in loss of power, excessive fuel consumption
and a reduction in engine life.
The air cleaner should be checked daily or more often
when operating in dusty conditions. In extreme
conditions, it may be necessary to service the air cleaner
two or three times each day.
