CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL

CHK ADJ

CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL

1.Place the machine on a level surface. 2.Remove:

●Seat

●Fuel tank side panel (left)

Refer to “SEAT, CARRIERS, FENDERS AND FUEL TANK”.

3.Check:

●Coolant level

The coolant level should be between the minimum level mark a and maximum level

mark b.

Below the minimum level mark → Add the recommended coolant to the proper level.

CAUTION:

●Adding water instead of coolant lowers the antifreeze content of the coolant. If water is used instead of coolant, check and if necessary, correct the antifreeze concentration of the coolant.

●Use only distilled water. However, soft water may be used if distilled water is not available.

4.Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it off.

5.Check:

●Coolant level

NOTE:

Before checking the coolant level, wait a few minutes until the coolant has settled.

6.Install:

●Fuel tank side panel (left)

●Seat

Refer to “SEAT, CARRIERS, FENDERS AND FUEL TANK”.
