4. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, install the coolant res-
ervoir cap, the coolant reservoir
cap cover and the bolt.
CAUTION:

●
If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
●
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system will not be protected
against frost and corrosion.
●
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
WARNING
EWA10380
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
NOTE:
●
The radiator fan is automatically
switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radia-
tor.

If the engine overheats, see page
