General note
To equalize pressure in the cooling system, an expansion tank is
required. If the pressure in the system rises above 1.2 bar (17.4 psi) as
the coolant warms up, the pressure relief valve (1) opens and the coolant
can flow into the expansion tank via the line (5). When the coolant cools
down, the return valve (2) opens and the coolant is sucked back.
NOTES:
Inspect the rubber seal (3), the pressure spring (4) and the two valves
