Coolant

Important
• The fluid coolant circuit is pressurized. Inspections must only be made when the engine has cooled and, even in this case, the
radiator or expansion chamber plug must be unscrewed with the utmost caution.
• If an electric fan is installed, do not approach a hot engine since the fan itself could start up even when the engine is at a standstill.
• Coolant fluid is polluting. It must therefore be disposed of in the correct way. Do not litter.
Coolant refueling
Warning
• This is a dangerous operation and MUST be carried out with
a cold engine only.
• The cooling liquid circuit is pressurized, so do not carry out
checks before the engine has cooled down. Even in this case,
open the radiator tap very carefully.
- Remove the side inspection door from the upper part of
the canopy.
- Unscrew the plug from the union pipe for radiator filling.
- Pour the liquid in the union pipe.
- The correct level of liquid in the radiator is reached when it
is about to overflow out of the union pipe
Air bleeding of cooling circuit
- Start the engine and keep it running at idling speed, to let the cooling liquid flow and replace any air locks present in the
circuit.
- The liquid level previously set will go down until it becomes steady.
- Stop the engine and top liquid up.
- After a few hours of operation, when the engine is cold, it is recommended to check again the cooling liquid level.
