Coolant Recovery and Level Check

COOLANT RECOVERY TANK






The engine cooling system is equipped with a reservoir to maintain a constant supply of coolant in the system. When the coolant is hot, it expands into the reservoir; when it cools, it contracts and flows from the reservoir into the radiator. The surge tank is transparent, so that the fluid level can be checked periodically, to ensure that the coolant level is adequate.

The level of coolant in the reservoir should be above the bottom line ("Kalt") when the engine is cool and below the top line ("Heisse") when the engine is at operating temperature.

COOLANT LEVEL CHECK



To check coolant level, allow engine to cool down; coolant temperature may not exceed 30°C. If ambient temperature is above 30°C, then allow engine to cool down at least to ambient temperature.

Check coolant level, top up coolant if necessary until float is in line with top edge of expansion tank.


NOTE: Tank mark indicates the fluid level at approx. 20°C. Use only recommended coolant, refer to Specifications.
