FLIGHT MANUAL TSA-M, VARIANT S6

Doc.-No.: P400-006.000 E

Page: 7-29

Revision: 6

Date of Issue: 07. October 2008

Date of Rev.: 26.09.2011

The coolant-circuit is a closed system. A camshaft-driven water-pump circulates

the coolant through the system. To allow coolant to escape into the overflow-

bottle when warming up, an overpressure-valve is installed. When the coolant

contracts again during the cool-down-phase, coolant is sucked into the circuit

again. Air is automatically bled from the circuit.

Caution:

Do NOT open the lid of the expansion-tank if the engine is

warm. The engine-cooling-system is pressurized! There is a

severe risk of being burnt by boiling splash-water!

Caution:

When refilling coolant in the overflow-reservoir and tightening

the cap afterwards make sure that the plugged vent hose

remains untwisted.

Note:

The system has an overpressure-valve. Because of this,

coolant needed in the overflow-bottle (4) can NOT be refilled

at the expansion-tank (1).
