DANGER Risk of accident  from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. Risk of injury  suffered in the form of bruises or burns to the hands when reaching in while the engine cranks or runs Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving off by itself.
Wear closed and close-fitting work clothes.
Do not grasp hot or rotating parts.
AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
1 Bring engine to operating temperature (approx. 80°C) IMPORTANT Check the cylinder for leaks only when the engine is at normal operating temperature.  
DANGER Risk of injury  to skin and eyes suffering scalding from contact with hot coolant spray. Risk of poisoning  from swallowing coolant. Do not open cooling system unless coolant temperature is below 90°C. Open cap slowly and release the pressure. Do not pour coolant into beverage bottles.
Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and eye protection.
AS20.00-Z-0001-01A
2 Open cap (2) of expansion reservoir In Model 463 with Engine 112, 113, a cap (2) with a detent is built-in IMPORTANT  
    Turn cap carefully up to the first pre-detent, relieve the pressure and then unscrew the cap (2).  
    IMPORTANT A 1-stage cap is fitted to Model 163 with Engine 112, 113.  
    IMPORTANT Turn the 1-stage and 2-stage cap half a revolution counterclockwise, relieve the pressure, then unscrew the 1-stage or 2-stage cover.  
3 Remove a spark plug (19) from each cylinder
