Engine Coolant

WARNING!
• Engine coolant is toxic. Avoid inhaling or ingesting engine coolant. If eyes or skin are
contaminated by coolant, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical
treatment immediately.
• Engine coolant may be under pressure when the engine is hot. Avoid contact with hot
engine coolant. Allow the engine to cool before removing the radiator cap.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
Engine coolant is an important fluid protecting against overheating and freezing. Anti-freezing engine coolant is
also necessary in regions where freezing protection is unnecessary:
• If using concentrated engine coolant, use distilled water to dilute per instructions on engine coolant
container. Natural water, such as river water and well water (hard water), contains large amount of
minerals (calcium, magnesium, etc.) which can form scale in the engine and radiator. Mineral scale is not
easily removed and can cause overheating.
• Precautions in this manual must be followed when working with engine coolants.
• Some engine coolants are flammable. Keep them away from open fire.
• If the engine is overheating, wait for the engine to cool before refilling the engine coolant.
