Coolant replacement
The coolant in your scooter should be replaced by a KYMCO
dealer, unless you have the proper tools, access to service
data, and are technically qualified.
NOTE: Always add coolant to the reserve tank. Do not
attempt to add coolant by removing the radiator cap.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can
cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.
Coolant recommendation
It is your responsibility to have your scooter serviced so it has
the proper type and amount of coolant in the cooling system
and engine. The coolant must be in good condition and have
the proper ratio of antifreeze and distilled water to prevent
freezing, overheating, and corrosion. When servicing the cool-
ant, you should arrange to use only high quality ethylene gly-
col antifreeze that contains corrosion protection inhibitors spe-
cifically formulated for use in aluminum engines (see the anti-
freeze container label).
A 50:50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water is required for
the cooling system of your scooter . This coolant solution is
recommended for most operating temperatures and provides
good corrosion protection.
Use only low-mineral drinking water or distilled water
as a part of the antifreeze solution. Water that is high in
mineral content or salt may be harmful to the aluminum
engine. Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause
premature wear of water pump seals or blockage of ra-
diator passages. Using tap water can cause engine dam-
age.
If you are using your scooter in an environment where
it will encounter freezing temperatures, you should have
a higher concentration of antifreeze installed by your
KYMCO dealer to provide additional protection against
freezing the engine. This higher concentration should
not exceed 60% antifreeze -to -distilled water.
During warmer times, bring the antifreeze ratio back to
the standard ratio. A concentration of less than 40:60
(40% antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion pro-
tection.
