5.5 COOLANT
• The coolant expansion tank is located on the front side of the
vehicle under the left hand cover (section 1.5 page 8).
• Check the coolant level in the tank when the engine is cool, in
order to avoid possible burnings.
NEVER REMOVE THE TANK
CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS WARM.
• The coolant level is sufficient if it is between the MIN. and MAX.
notches marked on the tank.
• If it is lower that the MIN. notch, top up until you reach the MAX.
notch.
• We advise you to use Q8 TOP FLUID coolant.
NOTE: the cooling circuit is supplied with an electric fan, actuated
by a thermistor, which automatically cools the fluid inside
the radiator if temperature rises too much.
The electric fan is protected by a 7.5A fuse located in the
front glove compartment (see section 6.7) and is only pow-
ered when the key is turned to its “ON” position.
Before using the vehicle, check that the cooling surface
of the radiator, located behind the front wheel, is not
clogged by leaves, paper, mud, etc.
Fluid temperature indicator
Operating temperature is indicated by the special indicator (Fig.
34) which is located in the dashboard. If the indicating pointer is
steadily positioned in
zone A , temperature is normal.
If the red water temperature warning light (3) comes on (indica-
tor on the red notches, B), stop the vehicle immediately.
Allow
the engine to cool down and perform the following checks:
•
Check that there are no objects clogging the cooling surface of
the water cooler located behind the front wheel (eliminate
them);
• Check for leakages inside the circuit with subsequent leak of
fluid (check oil level, top up);
• Make sure that the fan fuse is in good condition (if not, replace it).
For any trouble inside the cooling circuit we advise you to con-
tact an Authorised Malaguti Service Centre for a thorough check
as soon as possible, even if the cause of the trouble has al-
ready been removed.
If temperature is not displayed and the red warning light
is flashing, the temperature sensor or cables are not in
working order. Contact an Authorised Malaguti Service
Centre immediately.
