PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
G
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system will not be protected
against frost and corrosion.
G
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
NOTE:
G
The radiator fan is automatically
switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radia-
ECA10470
tor.
G
If the engine overheats, see page
6-37 for further instructions.
Changing the coolant
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
The coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. Have a
Yamaha dealer change the coolant.
