Replace engine coolant

- Only proceed when the engine is not turning, and is at
low temperature, so as not to run the risk of burns.
- Place a container for collecting coolant under the heat
exchanger (radiator) (3).
- Remove the pressurization cap (4) from the expansion
tank.
- Loosen the retainers and extract the coupling sleeves (1,
2) which fasten the engine cooling circuit to the heat ex-
changer.
- Drain the coolant from the heat exchanger (radiator) (3)
and wait until it is completely empty.
- Once emptied, restore the integrity of the cooling circuit,
by ensuring the perfect seal of the sleeves.
- Refill the engine and the heat exchanger until the cooling
circuit is completely full using a mixture of 50% of water
and PARAFLU 11 / PARAFLU HT as indicated in Section
1 - General table ”General Characteristics”.
Do not fill the expansion tank to the brim.
- With the pressure plug (4) open, start the engine and idle
it for approximately one minute. This helps to completely
bleed the air contained in the cooling circuit.
- Stop the engine and top up with more coolant, if neces-
sary.
- When the engine is cold, make sure that the coolant in
the expansion tank is a few centimetres below the filling
hole.
- In the event of an externally located level indicator as
regards the heat exchangers, proceed with the top up
operation by making sure that the coolant does not over-
fill the internal volume of the exchanger in order to allow
the expansion of coolant volume during increases in tem-
perature.
Failure to observe the procedure described above
does not guarantee the presence of the correct
quantity of coolant in the engine.
When the engine is hot, pressure builds up in the
cooling circuits which may eject hot liquid violen-
tly, resulting in a risk of burns. Open the filler cap
of the coolant tank only if necessary and only
whentheengineiscold.
