www.changlin.com.cn Coolant Level Checking Warning: Do not remove the radiator cap from a hot engine . Wait until the temperature is below 50^ [122*F] before removing the pressure cap. Failure to do so can result in personal injury from heated coolant spray or steam. Remove the filler cap slowly to relieve coolant system pressure. NOTE: Never use a sealing additive to stop leaks in the coolant system. This can result in coolant system plugging and inadequate coolant flow causing the engine to overheat. The coolant level must be checked daily. Caution: Do not add cold coolant to a hot engine. Engine castings can be damaged. Allow the engine to cool to below 50 °C[122 °F]before adding coolant.

NOTE: If additional coolant is added to the cooling system a 50% mixture of water and antifreeze must be premixed before added to the system. Since the ability of antifreeze to remove heat from the engine is not as good as water, pouring antifreeze into the engine first could contribute to an over heated condition before the liquids are completely mixed. Fill the cooling system with coolant to the bottom of the fill neck in the radiator fill or expansion tank. NOTE: Some radiators have two fill necks, both of which must be filled when the cooling system is drained. 38 / 149 pages
