Standard procedure
- Pour the necessary quantity of coolant in the ra-
diator then warm up the engine in order to elimi-
nate any possible air bubbles.
- Allow the coolant to cool down then remove cap
(2) and check the level as explained under "Cool-
ant level check".
- Periodically check the connecting hoses (see
"Scheduled Maintenance Chart"): this will avoid
coolant leakage and consequent engine seizure:
If hoses (A) show cracks, swelling or hardening
due to sheaths desiccation, their replacement
shall be advisable.
- Check the correct tightening of the clamps (B).
