CHECKING COOLANT LEVEL
WARNING
Do not remove cooling system fi ller cap when
the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool and
then remove the pressure cap slowly, allowing the
pressure to vent. Hot coolant, under pressure, may
discharge violently and cause severe burns.
Coolant Recovery Reservoir
The “see-through” plastic reservoir is connected to the
heat exchanger by a small hose. The recovery bottle col-
lects coolant that expands with rising temperature, and
would otherwise overfl ow from the system. Coolant level
should be at or slightly above the “ADD” mark on the
bottle when the system is cold. Coolant should be added
ONLY to the reservoir when the system cools.
Coolant Filler Neck
Periodically, on a cool engine, remove the pressure
cap from the fi ller neck to ensure the coolant recovery
system is functioning properly. Coolant must be at the
top of the fi ller neck. If coolant is low, check the gasket
in the cap for damage. Replace if necessary. Inspect the
coolant recovery system for leaks.
