Pentosin tank in the engine compartment
Check the fluid level (Pentosin CHF 11 S) with the engine stationary and cold (approx. 20 °C).
CAUTION
Danger of damage to property if too much Pentosin CHF 11 S is filled or if it comes in contact with the
coolant hoses when topping up or filling in!
• Observe the following specifications in order to avoid overfilling and thus overflowing!
• Multiple steering operations (manoeuvring) and/or actuating the clutch with the engine switched off
change the fluid level in the reservoir! Fluid level rises. In this case, the engine must be run for
approx. 20 seconds immediately prior to the fluid level check!
If coolant hoses come into contact with Pentosin, thoroughly clean them with water
•
IMMEDIATELY!
• Replace visibly swollen coolant hoses!
1. Start engine and run it at idle speed for approx. 20 seconds. Switch off engine.
2. Open the engine cover.
3. Open reservoir cap.
4. Wipe off the dipstick. Close and then reopen the cap. The fluid level should be in the designated "Cold
range" (min./max. level at 20 °C). Top up with Pentosin if necessary. Do not add too much Pentosin! In
warmed−up condition, the fluid level must not exceed the "Hot max" mark!
