08-7 0000-00 3. CAUTIONS If 100% of anti-freeze is added, the water pump vane can be damaged and thermal conductivity can be decreased resulting in poor circulation in the cooling system which leads to overheated engine. Use of non-recommended coolant could cause damage to the cooling system and overheating of the engine. Opening the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot can cause burns by hot steam or water. To open the coolant reservoir cap, wrap the cap with a wet towel or thick cloth after the engine is cooled down sufficiently. If cool water is added to the heated engine, the engine or radiator can be deformed. The anti-freeze in the coolant can damage the painted surface, so avoid the contact of the coolant to the painted body. The anti-freeze and water should be mixed in proper mixture ratio. Never add only water when adding coolant. If the anti-freeze content is too low, the coolant can be frozen while the engine can be overheated if anti-freeze content is too high. - - - - - - - - |
