Cooling System Safety

•
Swallowing engine coolant can cause poisoning;
keep out of reach from children and pets.
•
Discharge of hot, pressurized coolant or touching
a hot radiator and surrounding parts can cause
severe burns.
– Always allow the engine to cool at least 15
minutes before removing the radiator cap.
– Use a rag when opening the radiator cap, and
open the cap slowly to allow steam to escape.

these parts. However, it is necessary to check and
clean more frequently in extremely dusty and dirty
conditions.

ignition switch.
