6B-12 ENGINE COOLING
Maintenance
Coolant Level Check
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned:
• Do not remove reservoir cap while coolant is "boiling",
and
• Do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if either cap is taken off too soon.
To check level, lift hood and look at "see-through" coolant reser-
voir.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir (1).
A normal coolant level should be between "FULL" and "LOW"
marks on reservoir.
If coolant level is below "LOW" mark (3), remove reservoir cap
and add proper coolant to reservoir to bring coolant level up to
"FULL" mark (2).
Then, reinstall cap.
NOTE:
• If recommended quality antifreeze is used, there is no
need to add extra inhibitors or additives that claim to
improve system.
They may be harmful to proper operation of system.
• When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks (4) on
reservoir and cap.
