Checking Engine Coolant Level
CAUTION:
Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns.
If radiator cap must be removed, do not remove when engine is hot. Shut engine off and wait until cap is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.
Never add coolant when engine is overheated. Wait for it to cool.
DO NOT raise basket to remove radiator cap and check radiator. The basket is heavy and can cause serious injury or death to you or others if it falls. Check and remove radiator cap from INSIDE basket only.
Under certain conditions, coolant conditioner can cause serious injury or death to you or others. Never inhale or ingest conditioner and avoid contact with skin or eyes. When adding coolant conditioner, observe all precautions listed on container.
Coolant level should be between "HOT LEVEL" and "COLD LEVEL" marks on overflow tank (A) depending on engine temperature.
Add coolant to overflow tank as needed. If overflow tank is empty, add coolant directly to radiator. (See Lubrication and Maintenance section in this manual for proper coolant specifications.)
