5.7.3 Coolant level check (3)<br />
Varoitus! Varning! Warning!<br />
Never open the radiator cap (C) when the engine is hot.<br />
In a hot engine the fluid is pressurised and its temperature can exceed<br />
evaporation point (100 °C). When released, the fluid evaporates and<br />
discharges with great pressure causing severe burns.<br />
Figure 51.<br />
Check that the expansion tank (3) level is between the min. and max. marks<br />
when the engine (coolant) is cold.<br />
If necessary, add coolant to the expansion tank by opening the expansion tank<br />
cap (3).<br />
Info!<br />
Always use a mix of water and anti‐freeze as coolant in a ratio of 1:1<br />
(50% water + 50% anti‐freeze).<br />
Besides the antifreezing compound, the anti‐freeze includes vital<br />
compounds that prevent engine and cooling system corrosion.<br />
Huomaa! Notera! Note!<br />
If you need to add coolant frequently, there is a leak in the cooling<br />
system.<br />
Proceed as follows:<br />
► Check all hoses and connections and the radiator core.<br />
► Repair the leak and add the required amount of coolant.<br />
► Run the engine until its hot and check that the system is intact.<br />
Huomaa! Notera! Note!<br />
Remember to check coolant's resistance to freezing regularly and<br />
always before the cold season.<br />
