WARNING!
Removing the fill cap on a hot engine can
cause scalding coolant to spray out and
burn you badly. If the engine has been in
operation within the previous 30 minutes, be
very careful in removing the fill cap. Protect
face, hands, and arms against escaping flu-
id and steam by covering the cap with a
large, thick rag. DO NOT try to remove it un-
til the surge tank cools down or if you see
any steam or coolant escaping. In any situa-
tion, remove the cap very slowly and care-
fully. Be ready to back off if any steam or
coolant begins to escape.

How to Add Coolant to the Cooling
System
Add coolant through the surge tank fill cap.
Do not remove the pressure cap to fill the
cooling system.
WARNING!
Do not remove the radiator fill cap while the
engine is hot. Scalding steam and fluid un-
der pressure may escape. You could be
badly burned. Failure to comply may result
in death or personal injury.
NOTE
If frequent topping off is necessary and
there are no visible signs of coolant leaks
when the engine is cold, check for leaks
with the engine operating at normal temper-
ature.
NOTE
Do not use the pressure cap to fill the surge
tank with fluid.
