 Always use potable water when mixing the coolant.
 Use LLC with the same mixture ratio in the coolant sub-tank.
 Do not increase the LLC mixture ratio unless necessary. Doing so could result in overheating or
another fault/malfunction.
 If adding LLC, be sure to use the same brand/type that is still in the generator.
 Do not mix different brands/types. Doing so could result in a chemical reaction and the creation of
toxic substances.

 LLC is a toxic substance. Wear rubber gloves and other protective wear when handling.
 If someone mistakenly ingests LLC, induce vomiting immediately and seek medical care.
