Radiator See Fig. 7.
Expansion tank To ensure proper operation of the cooling system, the expansion tank (1)
with pressure cap (2) in the main operating systems must be installed on
the highest point of the cooling circuit.

Use the total slip-on length for the water inlet elbow
and expansion tank. Secure hoses with suitable spring
or screw clamps.
Non-compliance can result in serious injuries or death!
The radiator must be designed and installed such that
the permissible operating temperatures are main-
tained and the max. values are not exceeded.
This must also apply to "Hot day condition".
If required, the radiator outlet (3) may be located max.
1.5 m (4.92 ft.) underneath the inlet elbow (4) of the
water pump and no higher than the expansion tank (1).
