Information 

Overfilling the system can cause Pentosin CHF 202 to overflow onto coolant hoses and other components. The engine must be run for approx. 20 seconds prior to the fluid level check. Check the fluid level.

  1. Open the front lid.
  2. Unscrew reservoir cap.
  3. Check the fluid level. The cap has a dipstick with a -MIN/MAX marking-  for this purpose. The fluid level must be between the two markings when the engine is stopped and cold (approx. 20 °C).
