COOLANTS

Presence of dirt in coolant chokes up passages in

radiator, cylinder head and crankcase, thereby causing

overheating of engine.

To prevent rust formation and freezing of coolant inside

the passages of radiator crankcase and cylinder head

use premixed coolant as recommended.

It is recommended that the entire cooling system

should be drained and filled with fresh premixed

coolant. Coolant should be drained and replenished

every two years or at every 50,000 km whichever is

earlier.
