Checking coolant level
Check the coolant level in the header tank.
This has to be checked when the engine is
cold.
Remove the cap of the filler neck on the
heat exchanger.
The level of the coolant must be approx.
1 cm (3/8”) below the lower edge of the
filler neck.
If necessary, top up.
When topping up coolant, remove the bolt
from the upper side of the thermostat
cover, so that air can escape from the
cooling system.
WARNING
Never open the cap on the
header tank when the engine
is at operating temperature.
Topping up coolant
The internal cooling system can be filled
with a mixture of anti-freeze (40 %) and tap
water (60 %) or with a special coolant. For
specification, see page 67
Never fill the cooling system
with sea water or brackish
water.
Checking coolant level
Daily, before starting.
