Engine Coolant - HYOSUNG GT 650 Service Manual

5-1 COOLING SYSTEM

ENGINE COOLANT

At the time of manufacture, the cooling system is filled
with a 50 : 50 mixture of distilled water and ethylene gly-
col anti-freeze.
This 50 : 50 mixture will provide the optimum corrosion
protection and excellent heat protection, and will protect
the cooling system from freezing at temperatures above
-31 (-24 )
If the motorcycle is to be exposed to temperatures
below -31 (-24 ), this mixing ratio should be
increased up to 55% or 60% according to the figure.
CAUTION
Use a high quality ethylene glycol base anti-
freeze, mixed with distilled water. Do not mix
an alcohol base anti-freeze and different
brands of anti-freeze.
Do not rut in more than 60% anti-freeze or less
than 50%. (Refer to Right figure.)
Do not use a radiator anti-leak additive.

You can be injured by scalding fluid or steam if you open the radiator cap when the engine is hot. After the
engine cools, wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to
allow pressure to escape and then turn the cap all the way off.
The engine must be cool before servicing the cooling system.
Coolant is harmful;
If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with water.
If swallowed accidentally, induce vomiting and call physician immediately.
