TOPPING UP COOLANT
WARNING
When the coolant is hot, there is an overpressure in the cooling
system. If circumstances dictate that it is necessary to top up the
coolant when the engine is warm, unscrew the filler cap carefully
one turn to relieve the overpressure. Take adequate precautions
against burning by, for example, placing a cloth over the cap.
Coolant is a toxic fluid. Contact with the skin should therefore be
avoided. Also see "Lubricant, engine coolant and fuel
specifications" in "TECHNICAL DATA"
WARNING
To prevent damage to the engine block, topping up with cold
coolant when the engine is hot must be done slowly and with the
engine running.
WARNING
Do not loosen the filler cap of the cooling system when the cab is
tilted. The filler cap houses the coolant level sensor. Take
necessary precautions to protect the sensor from damage when
removing it.
