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
Your COTA exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
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. Release the side stand all the way.
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.
