Control the heat.ENGINES PRODUCE HEAT. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] HIGH SUMMER OR DESERT TEMPERATURES JUST ADD MORE HEAT. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] YOUR VEHICLE'S COOLING SYSTEM cooling system: see air conditioning; internal-combustion engine; refrigeration. cooling system Apparatus used to keep the temperature of a structure or device from exceeding limits imposed by needs of safety and efficiency. MUST GET RID OF, OR CONTROL, THAT HEAT OR ELSE ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] OK, SO THEY WON'T REALLY MELT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO OPERATE IN HIGH TEMPERATURES, THEN LISTEN UP! [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THE COOLING SYSTEM WILL GET RID OF OR CONTROL HEAT, IF IT CAN WORK AS DESIGNED. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] HOWEVER, SMALL PROBLEMS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] ... LIKE LOW COOLANT coolant (kōō´l  nt),n LEVEL OR CRACKED HOSES ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] ... CAN QUICKLY TURN INTO BIG PROBLEMS. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] HERE'S HOW TO FIX THOSE PROBLEMS ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] ... WHILE THEY'RE STILL SMALL! [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL OFTEN. BEFORE YOu ROLL, WHEN THE ENGINE IS STILL COOL, MAKE SURE THE COOLANT IS UP TO THE MARK. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] IF IT'S LOW, ADD COOLANT TO BRING THE LEVEL UP, NEVER OVER-FILL, THOUGH, WHEN THE ENGINE HEATS UP, THE EXTRA COOLANT WILL OVERFLOW. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Check coolant level in radiator ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] ... or surge tanK A surge tank is a standpipe or storage reservoir at the downstream end of a closed aqueduct or feeder pipe - as for a water wheel - to absorb sudden rises of pressure and to furnish water quickly during a drop in pressure. Also known as surge drum. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] ADD COOLANT ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COOL, ADDING COOLANT TO A HOT ENGINE CAN CRACK THE ENGINE BLOCK OR BURST A SEAM IN THE RADIATOR. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] DUDE! WAIT FOR ME TO COOL DOWN! [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] A 60-40 MIX IS BEST, BUT MAINTAIN AT LEAST A 50-50 MIX OF ANTIFREEZE antifreeze, substance added to a solvent to lower its freezing point. The solution formed is called an antifreeze mixture. Antifreeze is typically added to water in the cooling system of an internal-combustion engine so that it may be cooled below the freezing point AND WATER TO RAISE THE BOILING. POINT OF THE COOLANT SO IT WON'T BOIL AWAY boil away Verb to cause (liquid) to evaporate completely by boiling or (of liquid) to evaporate completely LIKE PLAIN WATER.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] USE DISTILLED WATER, NSN 6810-00-356-4936, IN RADIATORS IF IT'S AVAILABLE. IF NOT, USE POTABLE potable /pot·a·ble/ (po´tah-b'l) fit to drink. po·ta·ble adj. Fit to drink; drinkable. potable fit to drink. WATER. GROUND WATER CONTAINS CHEMICALS THAT WILL CLOG UP THE RADIATOR. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] REMEMBER! USE ONLY CLEAN WATER FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE! [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] WHILE YOU'RE ADDING COOLANT, TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE RADIATOR CAP, MAKE SURE IT IS IN TOP NOTCH CONDITION AND IS THE RIGHT CAP FOR YOUR ENGINE. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING THE RIGHTS [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] CHECK THE PRESSURE RATING ON THE CAP WITH THAT LISTED IN YOUR TM. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] CHECK FOR WETNESS AROUND THE RADIATOR OR HOSES, WETNESS MEANS A LEAK. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] FEEL THE HOSES AND REPLACE ALL THAT ARE MUSHY mush·y adj. mush·i·er, mush·i·est 1. Resembling mush in consistency; soft. 2. Informal a. Excessively sentimental. See Synonyms at sentimental. b. CRACKED OR LEAKING. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] DURING OPERATION KEEP AN EYE ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, IF IT GOES ABOVE THE NORMAL OPERATING RANGE NOTED IN YOUR TM, SHUT DOWN AND FIND OUT WHY. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] REMEMBER, TOO, THAT LOW RPMS RPMS Remote Power Management System (Sprint) RPMS Rapid Prototyping Mission Simulator RPMS Rarely Purchased Management System DON'T TURN FANS QUICKLY ENOUGH TO KEEP COOLANT COOL, GEAR DOWN TO CREATE MORE RPMS.
