Black plate (358,1)
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year
―
at the beginning of the
winter season
―
and before traveling
where temperatures may drop below
freezing.
Inspect the condition and connections of
all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the FULL and LOW
marks on the coolant reservoir when the
engine is cool.
If it's at or near LOW, add enough coolant
to the coolant reservoir to provide
freezing and corrosion protection and to
bring the level to FULL.
CAUTION
Ø
Radiator coolant will damage
paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
Ø
Use only soft (demineralized)
water in the coolant mixture.
Water that contains minerals will
cut down on the coolant's
effectiveness.
Ø
Don't add only water. Always add
a proper coolant mixture.
Ø
The engine has aluminum parts
and must be protected by an
ethylene-glycol-based coolant to
prevent corrosion and freezing.
Ø
DO NOT USE coolants Containing
Alcohol, methanol, Borate or
Silicate.
These coolants could damage the
cooling system.
Ø
DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol
with the coolant. This could
damage the cooling system.
Ø
Don't use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.
