Engine

Coolant Level Check

The coolant level must be between "MAX COLD" and "MIN" marks on the reserve tank
depending on the temperature of the engine. Check and ensure that the level is correct.
When removing the radiator filler cap, while the engine is still hot,
cover the cap with cloth, then turn it slowly to gradually release the
internal steam pressure. This will prevent anyone from being scalded
by hot steam spurting out from the filler neck.
Add coolant mixed to the correct ratio: 50/50 ethylene glycol/water.

Radiator Cap Condition

After the replenishment of the coolant, install the radiator filler cap. Make sure the cap is
securely installed.

Battery Cable Connection

Check the battery cable connections for looseness or corrosion. A loosened cable
connection will result in hard engine starting or insufficient battery charge. The battery
cables must be tightened securely. Never reverse "+" and "-" terminals when reconnecting
cables after disconnection. Even a short period of reverse connection will damage the
electrical parts.
