• The coolant expansion tank is located inside the front
compartment and is protected by a plastic cover
( chap.3.5 ).
• The level of coolant can be checked using the “ MIN ”
and “ MAX ” notches as reference. These are visible
through the chassis number sight glass ( Fig.29 ).
• Check the coolant level in the tank when the engine
is cool, in order to avoid possible burnings.

The cooling circuit is supplied with an electric fan,
actuated by a thermistor, which automatically

reaches excessive levels. The electric fan is
protected by a 7.5A fuse located in the glove
compartment (chap.3.6).
Before using the vehicle, check that the cooling
surface of the radiator, located behind the front
wheel, is not even partially clogged by leaves,
paper, mud, etc.
Fluid temperature indicator
Temperature of coolant is displayed by the temperature
indicator on the right hand side of the instrument
board.
When coolant temperature rises above the permissible
threshold, the indicator reaches the red zone of the scale
and the relative warning light comes on ( chap.3.11 ).
In this case, stop the vehicle immediately . Allow the

For any trouble inside the cooling circuit, we
advise you to contact an Authorised MALAGUTI
Service Centre for an extensive check as soon
as possible, even if the cause of the trouble has
already been removed.
