Checking Coolant
When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at
ADD, or a little higher. When your engine is warm, the
level should be up to FULL HOT, or a little higher.
Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper mix at the
coolant recovery tank.
A
CAUTION:
I - -
lbrning the radiator pressure cap
when the
engine and radiator are hot can
allow steam
and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you
badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will
almost never have to add coolant at the radiator.
Never turn the radiator pressure cap
--
even
a
little
--
when the engine and radiator are hot.
Add coolant mix at the recovery tank, but be careful not
to spill it.
A
CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant
on
hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.
