RADIATOR COOLANT
Place the scooter on its center stand on a level sur-
face.
Remove the front upper cover (page 2-8).
With the engine running at normal operating tem-
perature and check the coolant level of the reserve
tank.
The level should be between the "UPPER" and
"LOWER" level lines.
If the level is low, remove the reserve tank cap and
fill the tank to the upper level line with a 1:l mixture
of distilled water and antifreeze (coolant prepara-
tion: page 6-7).
Using coolant with silicate corrosion inhibitors may
cause premature wear of water pump seals or
blockage of radiator passages. Using tap water may
cause engine damage.
Check to see if there are any coolant leaks when the
coolant level decreases very rapidly.
If the reserve tank becomes completely empty, there
is
a possibility of air getting into the cooling system.
Be sure to remove all air from the cooling system
(page 6-8).
