PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT7-117is not available, use distilled wa-ter or soft tap water instead. Donot use hard water or salt watersince it is harmful to the engine.If water has been used insteadof coolant, replace it with cool-ant as soon as possible, other-wise the cooling system will notbe protected against frost andcorrosion. If water has beenadded to the coolant, have aYamaha dealer check the anti-freeze content of the coolant assoon as possible, otherwise theeffectiveness of the coolant willbe reduced. [ECA10472]EAUM1315To change the coolant1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-face and let the engine cool if nec-essary.2. Place a container under the engineto collect the used coolant.3. Remove the coolant drain bolt andits gasket, and then the radiatorcap to drain the cooling system.WARNING! Never attempt to re-move the radiator cap when theengine is hot. [EWA10381]4. After the coolant is completelydrained, thoroughly flush the cool-ing system with clean tap water.5. Install the coolant drain bolt and itsnew gasket, and then tighten thebolt to the specified torque.6. Pour the recommended coolantinto the radiator until it is full.7. Install the radiator cap, start theengine, let it idle for several min-utes, and then turn it off.8. Remove the radiator cap to checkthe coolant level in the radiator. Ifnecessary, add sufficient coolantuntil it reaches the bottom of theradiator filler neck, and then installthe radiator cap.1. Coolant drain bolt2. Gasket1.
