COOLANT
Coolant Recommendation
The owner must properly maintain the
coolant to prevent freezing, overheating,
and corrosion. Use only high quality
ethylene glycol antifreeze containing cor-
rosion protection inhibitors specifically
recommended for use in aluminum en-
gines. (SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER
LABEL).
CAUTION :
* Use only
low-mineral drinking water
or distilled water as a part of the anti-
freeze solution. Water that is high in
mineral content or salt may be harm-
ful to the aluminum engine.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and water in this scooter. This
coolant solution is recommended for
most operating temperatures and provides
good corrosion protection. A higher con-
centration of antifreeze decreases the
16
cooling system performance and is recom-
mended only when additional protection
against freezing is needed. A concentra-
tion of less than 40/60 (40% antifreeze)
will not provide proper corrosion protec-
tion. During freezing temperatures, check
the cooling system frequently and add
higher concentrations of antifreeze (up to
a maximum of 60% antifreeze) if re-
quired.
