ADDING COOLANT
WARNING
It is hazardous to remove the
degassing tank cap for Diesel
engine when the water temperature
is high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under pres-
sure. Wait until the coolant temper-
ature has lowered before removing
the cap.
If the coolant level is below the "LOW"
mark, more coolant should be added.
When the engine is cool, remove the de-
gassing tank cap by turning it anticlock-
wise slowly to release any pressure. And
add coolant until the degassing tank level
reaches the "FULL" mark. Never fill the
degassing tank above the "FULL" mark.
IMPORTANT
❒ The mixture you use should contain
50% concentration of antifreeze.
❒ If the lowest ambient temperature in
your area is expected to be –35°C
(–31°F) or below, use higher concen-
trations up to 60% following the in-
structions on the antifreeze container.
❒ When putting the cap on the reservoir
tank, line up the arrow on the cap and
the arrow on the tank. Failure to follow
this can result in coolant leakage.
WARNING
Engine coolant is harmful or
fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
Do not drink antifreeze or coolant so-
lution. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Immediately contact a poi-
son control center or a physician.
Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors; if
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If
coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes with
water and seek medical attention.
Wash thoroughly after handling. So-
lution can be poisonous to animals.
Keep out of the reach of children and
animals.
