Maintenance
Checking the coolant level
☞ Proceed as follows:
• Park the machine on level ground.
• Stop the engine!
• Remove the key and carry it with you.
• Let the engine and the coolant cool down.
• Open the engine cover.
• Check the coolant level on the transparent coolant tank A and on the radiator B.
☞ If the coolant level is below the LOW seam or if there is no coolant at the radiator's
filler inlet:
• Add coolant to the coolant tank.
Important
Check the coolant level once a day.
We recommend checking it before starting the engine.
Filling up coolant
After the engine has cooled down:
☞ Release overpressure in the radiator
☞ Carefully open the cap to the first notch and fully release the pressure
☞ Open filler cap B
☞ Add coolant up to the lower edge of the filler inlet (radiator)
☞ Close filler cap B
☞ Start the engine and let it warm up for about 5 – 10 minutes
☞ Stop the engine
☞ Remove the key and carry it with you
☞ Let the engine cool down
☞ Check the coolant level again
➥ The coolant level must be between the LOW and FULL tank seams
☞ If necessary, add coolant and repeat the procedure until the coolant level remains
constant
Important
Check the antifreeze every year before the cold season sets in!
