the level of the manifold. Additional filling has to be done
via the expansion tank.
For large engine cooling systems with long pipes or for
extra reserve there is an extra-large expansion tank with a
content of 7 litres and an alarm for low coolant level that
can be supplied as an option (refer to figure 19).

When mounting the radiators it is important to take care
that the outgoing connection, which is the connection to
the engine inlet, is on the top position (refer to figure 20
detail A) and is connected to the expansion tank. Also
when the radiator is mounted flat at the bottom of the
vehicle the outgoing connection is connected to the
expansion tank This is the best way to have the system
release air and to add liquid when necessary.
The expansion tank must be fitted in the outlet
of the radiator = the inlet pipe of the engine

When both radiators are flat mounted on the roof, the
expansion tanks should be mounted a little higher. (refer to
figure 21 detail B).

Most cooling problems originate from air traps
blocking the circulation of the engine coolant.
It is very important to use good quality heat
resistant hose and fittings. Therefore it is
strongly advised to use WhisperPower
installation kits from WhisperPower.
