Safety Information 7
Coolant
To prevent personal injury, do not climb up
on the engine to remove the filler cap. Use
a suitable, properly positioned ladder to
reach up to the cap. At normal operating
temperature, the engine coolant is very hot
and under pressure. If pressure is relieved
rapidly in a hot cooling system, the hot
coolant can turn into steam. Any contact
with hot coolant or steam can cause severe
burns. The radiator and all heating system
and radiator lines and hoses contain hot
coolant.
WARNING
Coolant may be combustible. Coolant
leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or
electrical components can cause a fire.
Clean up coolant spills immediately.
Verify coolant level only by the markings
on the expansion tank. Open the filler cap
only after the engine has been stopped and
cooled down. Remove the filler cap slowly
to relieve pressure.
