SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The engine coolant must be changed according to the Maintenance Schedule.
WARNING
•
Check, replenish or change the engine coolant only after the engine has
sufficiently cooled down.
•
If the coolant is still hot, do not remove the radiator cap. Hot vapor will come out
and you may be scalded. The coolant in the surge tank will be hot, which may
also cause scalding. Perform all checks, replenishment and change when the
coolant temperature has lowered.
•
When removing the radiator cap or surge tank cap, use a thick cloth to cover the
cap and turn it slowly.
•
Engine coolant is toxic and must not be ingested. If coolant gets in your eyes,
rinse them immediately.
•
Engine coolant is flammable, and therefore, it must be kept away from flames
and other heat sources. Engine coolant also could ignite if it comes in contact
with a hot surface, such as the exhaust manifold. Exercise caution to prevent
this from happening.
NOTE
•
Use a mixture of tap water and engine coolant at an appropriate concentration.
