When trouble arises
RC350/RCF_U (OM24636U)
■ When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam
has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
● Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fans and
belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
■ When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool coolant
to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■ To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
● Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
● Do not use any coolant additive.
● RC350: While the engine and radiator are
hot, do not loosen or remove the coolant res-
ervoir cap or radiator cap. (The radiator cap
is located under the engine cover.)
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
● RC F: While the engine and radiator are hot,
do not loosen or remove the coolant reser-
voir cap.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
