WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. When the engine
is hot, the engine coolant is under
pressure and may erupt through
the opening if the cap is removed.
You could be seriously burned if
you do not observe this precau-
tion. Do not remove the radiator
cap until the radiator is cool to the
touch.

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool-
ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The
engine coolant should be compatible
with aluminum engine parts. Additional
corrosion inhibitors or additives should
not be used. The cooling system must
be maintained with the correct con-
centration and type of engine coolant
to prevent freezing and corrosion.
Never allow the concentration of anti-
freeze to exceed the 60% level or go
below the 35% level, or damage to the
cooling system may result. For proper
concentration when adding or replac-
ing the engine coolant, refer to the
HTB170
following table.
