Shown on Engine 112
Remove, Install
1Risk of accident from
vehicle starting off by
itself when engine
running. Risk of injury
suffered in the form of
bruises or burns to the
hands when reaching in
while the engine cranks
or runs
Bring engine to operating
temperature (approx. 80 °
C)Secure vehicle to prevent it
from moving off by itself.
Wear closed and close-
fitting work clothes.
Do not grasp hot or rotating
parts.
Check the cylinder for
leaks only when the engine
is at normal operating
temperature.AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
Risk of injury to skin
and eyes suffering
scalding from contact
with hot coolant spray.
Risk of poisoning from
swallowing coolant.
Do not open cooling system
unless coolant temperature
is below 90 °C. Open cap
slowly and release the
pressure. Do not pour
coolant into beverage
bottles.
Wear protective gloves,
protective clothing and eye
protection.

2Open cap (2) of
expansion reservoirIn Model 463 with Engine
112, 113, a cap (2) with a
detent is built-in
Turn cap carefully up to the
first pre-detent, relieve the
pressure and then unscrew
the cap (2).
A 1-stage cap is fitted to
Model 163 with Engine
112, 113.
Turn the 1-stage and 2-
stage cap half a revolution
counterclockwise, relieve
the pressure, then unscrew
the 1-stage or 2-stage cover.
3Remove a spark plug
