6. Usage and Maintenance
Adding Coolant
After
inspecting the coolant level, add coolant
if necessary in the following steps:
– Wrap the expansion tank cover with a thick
cloth and unscrew it anticlockwise.
– Add coolant till its level reaches the mark
“MAX”.
– Screw the expansion tank cover clockwise.
Caution
• When the engine has not cooled down, the
cooling system is under high pressure. Do
open the coolant expansion tank cover at this
moment. Otherwise, you may be scalded by
the steam.
•
When unscrewing the expansion tank cover,
use a thick cloth to wrap it to avoid scald.
•
Do not add coolant until the engine has cooled
down. The coolant level should not exceed the
mark “MAC”. Otherwise, the coolant may spill
out when the engine is started and the cooling
system is under high pressure.
• Add new coolant only.
•
Add coolant based on the ambient
temperature to prevent it from freezing in
inclement climate.
Warning
• Do not mix the original coolant with any other
unrecognized coolant. Otherwise, the engine
may be damaged seriously due to
incompatibility.
• If any other coolant is mixed or pure water is
added for an emergency, go to any authorized
GAC Motor's dealer to clean the cooling
system and replace the coolant in time.
•
•
If the engine consumes too much coolant or
consumes coolant too fast, the cooling system
may have some hidd
en leakage. Go to any
GAC Motor's dealer for maintenance in time.
Store coolant in accordance with
environmental protection laws and regulations.
•
Store coolant in the original container and
keep the
m out the reach of children to prevent
eating by mistake and poisoning.
