Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold. (The coolant lev-
el will vary with engine temperature.) The
coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the
minimum and maximum level marks on the
coolant reservoir. If the coolant level is at or
below the minimum level mark, add additional
coolant to bring the level up to maximum level
mark. If coolant is not available, add distilled
water. Change the coolant every two years.
(See pages 8-17–8-18 for details.)
CAUTION:
_
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can-
not get distilled water.

Coolant reservoir capacity
