Maintenance Information - Kove 450 Rally Maintenance Manual

Overview
Do not remove the radiator cap before the engine and radiator cool
down to prevent the coolant from splashing out and scalding people
NOTE
The use of coolant with silicate inhibitors can lead to premature wear of
water pump seals or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water can cause engine damage.
l - Add coolant to the reservoir; do not remove the radiator cap except to
add or drain coolant.
Do not remove the engine from the frame when servicing the cooling
system.
-Avoid leakage of coolant to painted surfaces.
Check for leaks with a cooling system tester after system maintenance.
Check the coolant temperature indicator/water temperature sensor.
Check the fan control relay.
