ANTIFREEZE(F)
(P/N 619 590 204)
Alternative, or
if not available
Distilled water and
antifreeze solution
(50% distilled water,
50% antifreeze)
NOTICE
A blend of 50% antifreeze
with 50% distilled water will im-
prove the cooling efficiency. Using
water tap instead of distilled water,
would contribute to make deposits
in cooling system and to reduce an-
tifreeze efficiency. This could lead to
engine overheating.
To prevent antifreeze deterioration, al-
ways use the same brand. Never mix
different brands unless cooling system
is completely flushed and refilled.
NOTICE
To prevent rust formation
or freezing condition in cold areas,
always replenish the system with
50% antifreeze and 50% distilled wa-
ter. Pure antifreeze will freeze at a
higher temperature than the opti-
mal water/antifreeze mix. Always
use ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors specif-
ically recommended for aluminum
engines.

Engine Oil Level Verification
NOTICE
Check level every 10
hours of use and refill if necessary.
Do not overfill. Operating the en-
gine with an improper level may
severely damage engine. Wipe off
any spillage.
Make sure the engine is at normal oper-
ating temperature.
NOTE: The engine reaches normal
temperature when the rear radiator
gets warm indicating the thermostat
has opened.
Place vehicle on a level surface and
proceed as follows to check oil level:
1. Let engine run at idle for approxi-
mately 30 seconds.
2. Stop engine.
3. Open the LH side panel, refer to
CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND
EQUIPMENT
.
4. Remove the drive belt guard, re-
