► ANTI FREEZE
Frozen cooling water can damage the engine.
Before replacing the anti freeze solution flush the radiator.
Mix the anti freeze solution in accordance with the instructions applicable to the brand of anti
freeze and the local climate.
Replace the solution in the radiator.
In the case of the loss of solution due to evaporation or overflow, replace with the original mixture ratio.
Water or air under high pressure can distort the cooling fins on the radiator and
reduce their efficiency.
