1. This becomes hot when thermostat opens
Last, refill expansion tank and install pressure cap.
When engine has completely cooled down,
recheck coolant level in radiator and coolant tank
and top up if necessary.
Test the density of the coolant using an antifreeze
hydrometer.
NOTE:
Follow hydrometer manufacturer instruc-
tions for proper use.
The reading should be some degrees below the
coldest temperature you expect in the area where
the watercraft is to be used. Add demineralized
water or antifreeze accordingly. Refill to the prop-
er level.
CAUTION:
Pure antifreeze will freeze at a
higher temperature than the optimal water/
antifreeze mix.
Using water tap instead of
demineralized
water,
would
contribute to
make deposits in cooling system and to reduce
antifreeze efficiency. This could lead to engine
overheating.
CARE
The coolant should be replaced annually or every
100 hours of use. Coolant should be replaced pri-
or to storage.
When servicing the hull, rotate watercraft either
way (seen from the rear) maximum to 90°.
