Coolant

The coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.
Recommended coolant:
YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity:
Coolant reservoir (max level mark):
0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes):
1.93 L (2.04 US qt, 1.70 Imp.qt)
TIP

able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
[ECA10012]
minum engines and mix with distilled
water at a 1:1 ratio.
To check the coolant level
Since the coolant level varies with en-
gine temperature, check when the en-
gine is cold.
