Use extra caution not to spill the
coolant on any hot parts of the engine.
It is flammable, and can emit invisible,
toxic fumes.
Always wear rubber or latex gloves
when servicing the cooling system.
Have the coolant changed by your Local
aprilia Dealer.
The coolant is made up of 50% water and
50% antifreeze.
This mixture is ideal for most running
temperatures and ensures good protection
against corrosion.
It is advisable to keep the same mixture also
in the hot season. In this way loss due to
evaporation is reduced, making frequent top
ups unnecessary.
The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator
by evaporated water are thus reduced and
the efficiency of the cooling system
remains unchanged.
If the outdoor temperature is below 0°C,
check the cooling circuit frequently and if
n e c e s s a r y i n c r e a s e t h e a n t i f r e e z e

CAUTION
Use only distilled water when topping
off the cooling system. This will reduce
damage to the engine.
WARNING
Do not add any additives or other
substances to the coolant.
The coolant is very hot.
Do not remove the filler cap (2) when
the engine is hot since the coolant is
under pressure and it will splash out
violently.
If it comes in contact with the skin or
with your clothing, it may cause severe
burns.
