ADJUSTMENT

COOLANT REQUIREMENTS

Frost precautions and engine protection.

Cooling system MUST ALWAYS be filled and
topped-up with solution of water and anti-freeze,
winter and summer. NEVER use water alone, this
may corrode aluminium alloy.

CAUTION: Do not use salt water otherwise
corrosion will occur. In certain territories
where only available natural water supply

has some salt content use only rain or distilled
water.

Recommended solutions

Anti-freeze: Universal anti-freeze or permanent type
ethylene base, without methanol, containing a suitable
inhibitor for aluminium engines and engine parts.

Use one part of anti-freeze to one part of water.

Anti-freeze can remain in the cooling system and will
provide adequate protection for two years provided
that specific gravity of coolant is checked before onset
of second winter and topped-up with new anti-freeze
as required.

Vehicles leaving factory have cooling system filled
with 50% solution of anti-freeze and water. This gives
protection against frost down to minus 36

°

C (minus

33

°

F). Vehicles so filled are identified by a label

affixed to radiator.

NOTE: Should ambient temperatures be
below that stated above refer to
Anti-Freeze Data in Recommended

Lubricants, Fluids and Capacities in Section 09.
Instructions in chart must be strictly adhered to
before driving vehicle.

After the second winter the system should be drained
and thoroughly flushed. Before adding new anti-freeze
examine all joints and replace defective hoses to
make sure that the system is leakproof.

See the ’Recommended Lubricants Fluids and
Capacities’ for protection quantities.

Draining

WARNING: Do not remove expansion tank
filler cap when engine is hot. The cooling
system is pressurised and personal

scalding could result.

See coolant requirements before refilling system.

1. Remove expansion tank filler cap by slowly

turning it anti-clockwise, pause to allow pressure
to escape. Continue turning it in same direction
and remove.

2. Remove radiator filler plug and ’O’ ring to assist

drainage.
