Topping Up With Coolant - Stiga Titan Series Workshop Manual

2.3.4 Topping up with coolant

The coolant must meet the following re-
quirements:
• Always use a mixture of refrigerant
and water. Never use just water.
• Mix the water and refrigerant accord-
ing to the refrigerant supplier's
instructions.
• Never mix different refrigerants.
• Use soft water (no calcium content),
distilled or demineralised water.
Warning!
If the radiator cap is opened
when the engine is hot there is
a risk of serious burn injuries
from hot water that may spray
out.

1. Remove the front engine cover.
2. Check that all the plugs in the cooling
system are installed and sealed.
