Recovery tank “ FULL
“ LOW”
IMPORTANT:
Do not start engine without coolant.
Use clean, fresh water and anti-freeze to fill
the radiator and recovery tank.
When the anti-freeze is mixed with water, the
antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50%.
Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is
loose or improperly fitted, water may leak out
and the engine could overheat.
Anti-Freeze
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
When using antifreeze, put on some
protection such as rubber gloves. (Antifreeze
contains poison.)
If you should drink antifreeze get medical
attention immediately.
When antifreeze comes in contact with the
skin or clothing, wash it off immediately.
Do not mix different types of Antifreeze.
The mixture can produce chemical reaction
causing harmful substances.
Antifreeze is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions. Keep fire
and children away from antifreeze.
When draining fluids from the engine, place a
container underneath the engine body.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a
drain, or into any water source.
Also, observe environmental protection
regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
If it freezes, coolant can damage the cylinders and
radiator. If the ambient temperature falls below
0(32
°
F) or before a long-term storage, remove
cooling water completely, or mix fresh water with
long-life coolant and fill the radiator and recovery
tank with the mixture.·
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter LLC) comes in
several types. Use ethylene glycol(EG) type
for this engine.
2. Before employing LLC-mixed cooling water, fill
the radiator with fresh water and empty it
again.
Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to clean up
the inside.
3. The procedure for the mixing of water and
antifreeze differs according to the make of the
antifreeze and the ambient temperature. Refer
to SEA J1034 standard, more specifically also
to SAE J814c.
IMPORTANT:
When the antifreeze is mixed with water, the
antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50%.
