Only use high-grade, silicate-free coolant with corrosion inhibitor additive for aluminum motors. Low grade and unsuitable antifreeze
causes corrosion, deposits and frothing.

Do not use pure water as only coolant is able to meet the requirements needed in terms of corrosion protection and lubrication proper-
ties.
–
Only use coolant that complies with the requirements stated (see specifications on the container) and that has the relevant properties.
Antifreeze protection to at least
−
25 °C (
−

The mixture ratio must be adjusted to the necessary antifreeze protection. Use distilled water if the coolant needs to be diluted.
The use of premixed coolant is recommended.
