100 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT the coolant passages, and considerably reduce the efficiency of the cooling system. NOTICE If hard water is used in the system, it causes scale accumulation in the water passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of the cooling system. If the lowest ambient temperature encountered falls below the freezing point of water, use permanent antifreeze in the coolant to protect the cooling system against engine and radiator freeze -up, as well as from rust and corrosion. Use a permanent type of antifreeze (soft water and ethylene glycol plus corrosion and rust inhibitor chemicals for aluminum engines and radiators) in the cooling system. On the mixture ratio of coolant, choose the suitable one referring to the relation between freezing point and strength directed on the container. WARNING Coolant containing corrosion inhitors for alminum engines and radiators include harmful chemicals for human body. Drinking coolant can result in serious injury or death. Use coolant in accordance with the instractions of the manufacturer. Soft or distilled water must be used with the antifreeze (see below for antifreeze) in the cooling system.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

ably reduce the efficiency of the cooling
system.
WARNING
Coolant containing corrosion in-
hitors for alminum engines and
radiators include harmful chem-
icals for human body. Drinking
coolant can result in serious in-
jury or death. Use coolant in ac-
cordance with the instractions of
the manufacturer.
Soft or distilled water must be used
with the antifreeze (see below for an-
tifreeze) in the cooling system.
NOTICE
If hard water is used in the sys-
tem, it causes scale accumula-
tion in the water passages, and
considerably reduces the effi-
ciency of the cooling system.
If the lowest ambient temperature en-
countered falls below the freezing point
of water, use permanent antifreeze in
the coolant to protect the cooling sys-
tem against engine and radiator freeze
-up, as well as from rust and corrosion.
Use a permanent type of antifreeze
(soft water and ethylene glycol plus cor-
rosion and rust inhibitor chemicals for
aluminum engines and radiators) in the
cooling system.
On the mixture ratio
of coolant, choose the suitable one re-
ferring to the relation between freezing
point and strength directed on the con-
tainer.
