7-2 COOLING AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM
ENGINE COOLANT
At the time of manufacture, the cooling system is filled with a 50:50 mixture of distilled water and ethylene
glycol anti-freeze. This 50:50 mixture will provide the optimum corrosion protection and excellent heat pro-
tection, and will protect the cooling system from freezing at temperatures above -31 °C (-24 °F).
If the vehicle is to be exposed to temperatures below -31 °C (-24 °F), this mixing ratio should be increased
up to 55% or 60% according to the figure.

* Use a high quality ethylene glycol base anti-freeze, mixed with distilled water. Do not mix an
alcohol base anti-freeze and different brands of anti-freeze.
* Do not put in 60% and more anti-freeze or 50% and less. (Refer to below figure.)
* Do not use a radiator anti-leak additive.

* You can be injured by scalding fluid or steam if you open the radiator cap when the engine is
hot. After the engine cools, wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully remove the cap by
turning it a quarter turn to allow pressure to escape and then turn the cap all the way off.
* The engine must be cool before servicing the cooling system.
* Coolant is harmful;
• If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with water.
• If swallowed accidentally, induce vomiting and call physician immediately.
• Keep it away from children.
