Checking the Coolant Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Cooling system capacity: 3.7 l (4 qt)
Coolant type: a 50/50 solution of water and permanent
ethylene glycol antifreeze.
CAUTION
If the engine has been running, the pressurized, hot
coolant can escape and cause burns.

• Allow the engine to cool at least 15 minutes or
until the radiator cap is cool enough to touch
without burning your hand.
• Use a rag when opening the reserve tank cap,
and open the cap slowly to allow steam to
escape.
• Do not check the coolant level at the radiator;
only check the coolant level at the reserve tank.

refer to Removing the Full Bed (page 26).
2. Check the coolant level at the reserve tank (Figure 14).
The coolant should be up to the bottom of the stand
pipe in the filler neck.
