Adding Coolant
If a small amount of coolant has to be
added (due to evaporation of w ate r),
plain water can be used.
If a larger quantity of coolant has to
be added, a 50/50 m ixture of water
and anticorrosion/antifreeze should
be used.
Warning!
Do not remove pressure cap on
coolant reservoir if engine tem pera
ture is above 90° C/194° F. Allow
engine to cool down before removing
cap. The coolant reservoir contains
hot water and is under pressure.
Using a rag, turn cap to firs t notch to
relieve excess pressure. If opened
immediately, hot scalding fluid and
steam will be blown out under
pressure.
The drain plugs fo r the cooling
system are located on the right-hand
side of the engine block and the
bottom of the radiator.
