WARNING: Scalding hazard! Work on the cooling system may only be carried out on the engine after it has cooled down.
IMPORTANT: When working on oil, coolant or fuel lines, make sure no oil, coolant or fuel drips onto the alternator. Cover alternator with suitable material. Otherwise there may be alternator malfunctions.
IMPORTANT: Only open the cooling system when the coolant is no longer hot. Air may enter the cooling system if it is opened while the coolant is still hot. This may cause the engine to overheat and result in permanent damage.

Recycling: 

Catch and dispose of drained coolant.

Comply with the waste disposal regulations applicable in the relevant countries.
