Check coolant level

The cooling system must be filled with coolant

and not leak to operate at maximum efficiency.

Check the coolant level regularly. The level

should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”

marks on the expansion tank. The check

should be made with particular thoroughness

when the engine is new or when the cooling

system has been drained.
Do not remove the filler cap other than for

topping up with coolant. Frequent removal

may prevent coolant circulation between the

engine and the expansion tank during engine

warm up and cooling.
Capacity: 7.4 US qts. (7.0 liters)

freeze only.

NOTE: Do not top up with water only. Water

by itself reduces the rust-protective and

antifreeze qualities of the coolant and has a

lower boiling point. It can also cause damage

to the cooling system if it should freeze.

WARNING!

If the engine is warm and you are going to

top up coolant, unscrew the tank cap slowly

in order to allow any excess pressure to

escape.

CAUTION: The cooling system must

always be kept filled to the correct level. If

it is not kept filled, there can be high local

temperatures in the engine which could

result in damage. Different types of

antifreeze/coolant may not be mixed.
