Checking the cooling liquid level
The cooling liquid should be 10 mm (0.4 in) above the cooling elements when
the engine is cold (cf. diagram). In the event of the cooling liquid being drained,
always fill the system before hand, then top off while the engine is running.
– IF POSSIBLE, ALWAYS CHECK LEVEL OF COOLING LIQUID WHEN ENGINE IS
COLD. IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE RADIATOR CAP WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT,
USE A RAG TO COVER THE CAP AND OPEN SLOWLY TO RELEASE PRESSURE.
CAUTION - SCALDING HAZARD !
– DO NOT DETACH ANY RADIATOR HOSES WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. THE
ESCAPING HOT COOLANT AND THE STEAM MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
– IN CASE YOU GET BURNT, HOLD THE AFFECTED PART OF YOUR BODY UNDER
RUNNING COLD WATER RIGHT AWAY!
– COOLANT IS TOXIC. KEEP THE COOLANT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!
– IN CASE COOLANT IS INGESTED, GO SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY!
– IF COOLANT GETS INTO YOUR EYES, RINSE THEM OUT WITH WATER IMMEDI-
ATELY AND GO SEE A DOCTOR!
