Turn the engine off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use ex-
treme care when removing the ra-
diator cap. Wrap a thick towel
around it, and turn it counterclock-
wise slowly to the first stop. Step
back whilst the pressure is re-
leased from the cooling system.
When you are sure all the pressure
has been released, press down on
the cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning counterclockwise
to remove it.

WARNING
Information
i
The electric motor for
the cooling fan may con-
tinue to operate or start
up when the engine is
not running and can
cause serious injury.
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50%
water and 50% antifreeze mix is the
easiest to mix together as it will be the
same quantity of each. It is suitable to
use for most temperature ranges of
-35°C (-31°F) and higher.
Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the rotating fan blades
of the cooling fan.
