5. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the cool-
ant 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 coolant, re-
place 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 Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content
of the coolant as soon as pos-
sible, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.

Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the
detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the
cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.Wait until the
engine has cooled.
