It may sometimes operate even when
the engine is not running. Use extreme
caution when working near the blades

cap/engine coolant reservoir cap
whilst the engine is operating or hot.
The electric motor (cooling fan) may
operate until you disconnect the

steam.
śꢀ Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap/
engine coolant reservoir cap. Wrap
a thick towel around it, and turn it
