hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.

cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)
away from the fan and belts.

hands or clothing to be caught,

voir cap while the engine and
radiator are hot. High tempera-
ture steam or coolant could
spray out.

ciently. Adding cool coolant to a
hot engine too quickly can cause
damage to the engine.

tions:
