COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTIONS & REPLACEMENT
Coolant Replacement
The coolant in your scooter should be replaced by your local
authorized KYMCO dealer, unless you have the proper tools, access
to service data, and are technically qualified.
NOTE: Always add coolant to the reserve tank. Do not attempt to
add coolant by removing the radiator cap.
CAUTION
Use only low-mineral drinking water or distilled water as a
part of the antifreeze solution. Water that is high in mineral
content or salt may be harmful to the aluminium engine.
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause premature
wear of water pump seals or blockage of radiator passages.
If you are using your scooter in an environment where it will
encounter freezing temperatures, you should have a higher
concentration of antifreeze installed by your local
authorized KYMCO dealer to provide additional protection
against freezing the engine. This higher concentration
should not exceed 60% antifreeze-to-distilled water.
During warmer temperatures, bring the antifreeze ratio back
to the standard ratio. A concentration of less than 40:60
(40% antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion
protection.
Coolant Recommendation
WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause
the coolant to spray out, seriously burning you. Always let the
engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator
cap.
It is your responsibility to have your scooter serviced so that it has the
proper type and amount of coolant in the cooling system and engine.
The coolant must be in good condition and have the proper ration of
antifreeze and distilled water to prevent freezing, overheating, and
corrosion. When servicing the coolant, you should arrange to use only
high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze that contains corrosion
protection inhibitors specifically formulated for use in aluminium
engines (see the antifreeze container label).
A 50:50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water is required for the
cooling system of your scooter. This coolant solution is recommended
for most operating temperatures and provides good corrosion
protection.
