New 1000 Serie » How to fill the cooling system

Warning! Refer to your equipment supplier’s handbook for the application to fill the cooling system. If coolant is to be added to the system during service, allow the engine to cool before the coolant is added. Remove the filler cap slowly as dangerous coolant could be discharged if the coolant is still hot and the system under pressure.

Caution: If coolant is added to the system during service, it must consist of the same original mixture as used to fill the system. See "Coolant specification" for details of the correct coolant to be used in the system.

For engines fitted with intercoolers:

Caution: When the cooling system is filled it is important to eliminate air from the intercooler to prevent an overheated engine.

• Ensure that the top and bottom hose connections are fitted correctly.
• Fill the cooling system with coolant of the correct specification. Refer to "Coolant specification".
• Open the vent screw (A1 or B1) on the top pipe of the intercooler until coolant free of air flows from the screw. Then tighten the vent screw.
• Continue to slowly fill the cooling system to the correct level in the radiator, refer to the user’s handbook for the application.
