Coolant - Malaguti SPIDER MAX GT500 Owner's Manual

5.6 COOLANT

• The coolant expansion tank is located in the front section of
the vehicle, behind the plastic cover inside the glove compart-
ment of the lower fairing, on the left hand side (§ 3.5).
• The level of coolant can be checked using the MIN - MAX
notches as reference. These are visible through the grill under
the upper fairing on the front left hand side of the vehicle (G -
Fig.32).
1
• Check the coolant level in the tank when the engine is cool, in
order to avoid possible burnings.
• The coolant level is sufficient if it is included between the MIN.
2 and MAX. notches marked on the tank.
• If it is lower that the min. notch, top up until you reach the max.
notch.
• We advise you to use: Q8 TOP FLUID.
3
• If you are using undiluted fluid that is not mixed with water,
dilute with the same amount of water.
The cooling circuit is supplied with an electric fan,
4
actuated by a thermistor, which automatically cools the
fluid inside the radiator if its temperature reaches
excessive levels. The electric fan is protected by a 7.5 A
fuse located in the lower fairing container; (§ 3.9).
5
Before using the vehicle, check that the cooling surface
of the radiator, located behind the front wheel, is not even
partially clogged by leaves, paper, mud, etc.

Fluid temperature indicator
Coolant temperature is always displayed on the left hand side of
the display (§ 3.11).
If the temperature is too high, the alarm condition is signalled by
the flashing symbol and relative warning light on the display (3 -
Fig. 16, page 13) on the left hand side of the instrument board.
In this case, stop the vehicle immediately. Allow the engine to
cool down and check:
• that there are no objects clogging the cooling surface of the
radiator located behind the front wheel (remove them);
• that there are no leaks inside the circuit with subsequent leak
of fluid (see oil level, topping up);
• that the fan's fuse is in working order (if not, replace it).
For any trouble inside the cooling circuit, we advise you
to contact an Authorised MALAGUTI Service Centre for
an extensive check as soon as possible, even if the cause
of the trouble has already been removed.
