Cooling System Checkup; Cooling System Maintenance Warning; Warning - Chery automobile Service Manual

the expansion reservoir descends quickly, coolant
should be injected up to the highest position to cut
down the air circulation in the system.
――To shut the engine down to have it fully cooled if
possible, leave the engine alone for one night. ;
――To open the pressure cap to check the coolant level, and
inject coolant up to the highest position.

Cooling System Checkup:

――To check the coolant level, start up the engine and
preheat it. Put the engine under idle speed
circumstance until the cooling fan runs, and check
if coolant leakage exists at various pipe joints. Shut
down the engine and wait for engine cooling. And
then check if the coolant level in the expansion
reservoir is at normal condition.
――To try best to prevent the coolant spilling from
scalding operator during checkup.
――To timely check if water flows into the engine oil
pan (the lubricating oil shall become milk white
after water flows) when no pipe leakage is found
and the expansion reservoir is short of coolant, and
timely stop water from flowing in when finding it.

COOLING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE WARNING

Warning:

·To try best not to move radiator cap or loose the radiator discharging plug when the engine
is under operation or the engine and radiator are at a very high temperature. Scorching
coolant may spill out, hurting the people and damaging the engine and cooling system.
·To shut down the engine until it cools down, and then carefully demount the radiator cap.
Meanwhile, wrap a large thick cloth onto the radiator cap, rotate it slowly to the position
of the first clip along the counter-clockwise direction and then release the pressure slowly.
·To use a cloth to push down the radiator cap, rotate and remove the radiator cap after the
operator ensures all the intensity of pressure has been released.
