System maintenance
 Regular maintenance
 Every 1000km: Check if the coolant level in the auxiliary water tank is within the standard range,
or add new coolant up to the standard, if necessary.
 Check the cooling tube for any leakage in the event of coolant unusually consumed (the level
below the lower limit).
 Add the diluted coolant (30%~50%) with distilled water or soft water mixed. Do not add hard
water, industrial water or tap water into coolant due to its mineral substance causing incrustation
which adversely affects cooling efficiency or service life of the cooling system.
 Major maintenance
Change the water coolant every 20,000km or 30,000km.
 Notes:
1. Do not open the water tank to burn skin in the case of the engine warm and the water tank
in a high-pressure/temperature status. Continue the operation until the water coolant
temperature is reduced.
2. Only soft water, distilled water or specific additive can be added into the water coolant.
3. Rinse any surface to which coolant is attached with fresh water.
4. Check the system for any leakage with the cooling system having been maintained.
5. It is recommended to cautiously replace water coolant for the engine running and the
cooling fan turning due to increased water temperature.
6. It is recommended to change any snap shackle with a new one to ensure good sealing of the
cooling system.
