120 Cooling system
Filling coolant in a system which has been drained
Coolant is filled through draining nipple (C) near the bottom on the
right side of the engine.
1 The engine should be stationary and the heater control set to
warm.
2 The cap for expansion tank (A) should be removed.
3 Bleeder nipple (B) should be kept open until coolant flows out.
4 Fill with coolant up to maximum level in the expansion tank.
5 Take the machine for a test drive to remove all air from the
cooling system.
6 Top up until the cooling system is completely full.
7 The level should be checked after the engine has been run
warm and then allowed to cool.
IMPORTANT! Never fill cold coolant in a warm engine. This
can cause cracking in the cylinder block and cylinder head.
Failure to change coolant will cause clogging of the cooling
system and the risk of the engine seizing.
Cooling system capacity when changing: approx. 90 litres
(23.8 US gal)
Total capacity: approx. 100 litres (26.4 US gal)
WARNING!
If the engine is started with the radiator in the swung out
position, no person may be on or near the right fender.
