WARNING
At
operating
temperatures,
engine
coolant is hot and under pressure. It
also contains alkaline materials harmful
to eyes and skin. To avoid personal
injury check coolant level only when
engine is stopped and filler cap is cool
enough to be touched by the bare hand.
If coolant comes in contact with eyes or
skin, immediately flush affected area
with clean water and seek medical
assistance.
CAUTION
Sensing element must be submerged in
coolant to operate. If coolant is low,
engine can overheat and automatic
shutoff will not function to prevent
damage to engine.

more than ½ in. below filler pipe. Fill
with clean, fresh water (low in scale-

see table below. Add cooling system
conditioner to water before filling. Condi-
tioner should be 3 percent by volume of
total coolant capacity (about ½ pint of
conditioner per 2 gallons of water).
