Coolant
The engine of COTA is a water-cooled type. In order to
provide adequate cooling, it is essential that the radiator
be filled with coolant up the proper level (See pag. 3-9).
Coolant: 50/50 Mixture of Coolant and Distilled Water
!
WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot will
allow the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.
NOTICE
When fi lling the coolant system, be sure to bleed air
completely. If not, the system cannot be suffi ciently fi lled
and will cause overheating.
Basic Operation
Starting The Engine
!
WARNING
Your COTA exhaust contains poisonous carbon mo-
noxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run
the engine with the garage door closed. Even with the
door open, run the engine only long enough to move
your COTA out of the garage.
Cold Engine Starting
1. Shift the transmission into neutral.
2. Raise the side stand.
3. With the throttle fully closed, operate the kickstarter.
Starting from the top of the kickstarter stroke, kick
through to the bottom with a rapid, continuous motion.
4. After the engine starts, run it for a few minutes, “blip-
ping” the throttle, until it warms up enough to idle.
NOTE
Always operate the kickstarter with the throttle fully closed.
