About Add water:
1. Confirm joints of water pipes have been installed correctly firstly. Open the water filling cover to fill water until it is full.
2. Start the engine after adding water completes. Rotate speed of the engine shall be controlled under 4500RPM. Until warming-up finishes, bubble appears on the water filling opening and the water level begins to reduce, at the same time, antifreezer shall be filled. After several times filling, no bubbles occurs, and add more water until it is full, then close the water filling cover.
3. Add specified antifreezer into the auxiliary water tank, with water level between the lower and upper marks.
4. Caution: the outlet water pipe is located at upper locations of the water tank and the return water pipe is located at lower locations of the water tank, therefore, start the engine after water filling.
