isn’t at
FULL
COLD, add a
50/50
mixture of
clean
water
(preferably distilled) and DEX-COOL
TM
antifreeze at the coolant surge tank, but be sure the
cooling system, including the coolant surge tank
pressure cap, is cool before you do
it.

CAUTION:
Steam and scalding liquids from
a
hot cooling
system can blow out and burn you badly. They are
under pressure, and
if
you turn the coolant surge
tank pressure cap
--
even
a
little
--
they can come
out at high speed. Never turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the coolant surge
tank
pressure cap,
is
hot. Wait for the cooling system
and coolant surge
tank
pressure cap to cool
if
you
ever have to turn the pressure cap.
