COOLANT

Coolant recommendation

The owner must properly maintain the
coolant to prevent freezing, overheating and
corrosion. Use only high quality ethylene
glycol antifreeze containing corrosion
protection
inhibitors
recommended for use in aluminum engines.
(SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER LABEL).
Use only low-mineral drinking water or
distilled water as a part of the antifreeze
solution. Water that is high in mineral
content or salt may be harmful to the
aluminum engine.
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may
cause premature wear of water pump seals
or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water may cause engine damage.
32
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and distilled water in this scooter.
This coolant solution is recommended for
most operating temperatures and provides
good corrosion protection. A higher
concentration of antifreeze decreases the
specifically
cooling system performance and is
recommended only when additional
protection against freezing is needed. A
concentration of less than 40/60 (40%
antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion
protection. During freezing temperatures,
check the cooling system frequently and
add higher concentrations of antifreeze (up
to a maximum of 60% antifreeze) if
required.
