•
Do not use water only to top up as this weakens the coolant mix, reducing the level of
frost protection and anti-corrosion protection of the coolant.

Ensure the ignition key is removed before carrying out any maintenance.

Replace the belt if it cracks or splits and as the adjustment nears the limit of travel.
