Do not touch the radiator or coolant during engine operation
or immediately after the engine has been turned off.
Supply coolant after the engine has well cooled down.
The radiator cap is pressurized.
If you remove the radiator cap while the engine is overheated,
hot steam will burst out, possibly resulting in burns.
Make sure that the water temperature and pressure are
reduced, and then grab the cap with a thick cloth and
gradually open the cap.
When you supply coolant, be sure to use clean water, such as
tap water.
Tightly close the radiator cap.
If the cap is loose or incorrectly installed, water may leak and
the engine may overheat.
An unclean radiator may cause overheating or damage to the
engine.
It may also cause malfunction of the hydraulic system.
Do not use solid objects, such as a spatula or screwdriver, or
high-pressure water to clean the radiator or oil cooler.
Otherwise, special fins or tubes may be damaged, possibly
resulting in reduced cooling performance or coolant leakage.
