Checking the Coolant Level

IMPORTANT: Check the engine coolant before starting the engine.
1. Allow the engine to cool.
2. Verify that the coolant level is above the "min" mark on the coolant expansion tank.
3. If the coolant level is below the "min" mark:
a. Inspect the closed‑cooling system for leaks. If any leaks are found, contact your Mercury Diesel authorized repair
facility for further diagnosis and repair.
b. Refer to Adding Coolant and add the specified coolant as necessary.

Adding Coolant

1. Allow the engine to cool.
2. Cover the cap on the coolant expansion tank with a cloth and carefully remove the cap (counterclockwise).
IMPORTANT: If the specified coolant is not immediately available, add only water and restore the proper coolant/water
ratio with the specified coolant as soon as possible. Do not add any coolant other than the specified coolant.
3. Add the specified coolant as necessary to bring the level to the minimum level ("min" mark) but no higher than the coolant
maximum level.
