Coolant - Benelli 502C Manual Del Propietário

Coolant

re each ride. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals speci ed in
the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a at surface and
keep it upright.
TIP
• The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level va-
ries with engine temperature.
• Make sure that the vehicle is positio-
ned straight up when checking the
coolant level. A slight tilt to the side
can result in a false reading.
2. 2. Remove the screw (2) and remove the
side panel.
Access the coolant tank and top up if ne-
cessary.

mum and maximum level marks.

Periodic maintenance and adjustment
Remove only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
4. Add coolant or distilled water to raise
the coolant to the maximum level mark,
install the coolant reservoir cap.
NOTICE
If coolant is not available, use distilled
water or soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water since it is
harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead of coo-
lant, replace it with coolant as soon as
possible, otherwise the cooling system
will not be protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been added to
the coolant, have a Benelli dealer check
the antifreeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the e ecti-
veness of the coolant will be reduced.
