!
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. When the
engine is hot, the engine coolant
is under pressure and may erupt
through the opening if the cap is
removed. You could be seriously
burned if you do not observe this
precaution. Do not remove the
radiator cap until the radiator is
cool to the touch.

Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol
coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The
engine coolant should be compatible
with aluminum engine parts. Addi-
tional corrosion inhibitors or additives
should not be used. The cooling sys-
tem must be maintained with the cor-
rect concentration and type of engine
coolant to prevent freezing and corro-
sion. Never allow the concentration of
antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or
go below the 35% level, or damage to
the cooling system may result. For
proper concentration when adding or
replacing the engine coolant, refer to
the following table.
