COOLING - EXHAUST - TANK
The heating radiator has no valve.
The fluid circ ulation is permanently done in the heating radiator, this leading to t he engine
cooling.
FILLING
Open the purging screw located on the water pipe between engine and climate control radiator.
Fill up the circuit by the expansion vessel hole
Tighten the purging screws in the moment when the fluid is flowing in a continuos jet.
Start the engine, maintaining it at 2500 rot/min.
Adjust the fluid level in the expansion vessel, during about 4 minutes.
Close the cap of the expansion vessel.
PURGING
Let the engine run for 10 minutes at 2500 rot/min, until engine fan starting (necessary
period for automatic gas purge).
Check if the fluid level in the expansion vessel is nearby the mark “Max”.
Do not open the purging screws with the engine running.
Ret ighten the expansion vessel cap with the warm e ngine.

AIR REPARTITION CONTROL
The knob
(B) is controllin g air repartitio n flaps
(1).
Position
Ai rflow is di rected t owards the dashboard
side air vents.
Each air vent has three adjustments: - open or closed;
- upward or downward directed
- left or right directed
Position
Airflow is directed towards all dashboard air
vents and towards passengers legs.
Position
Airflow is directed towards passengers legs.
Op erating principle
Position
Airflow is distributed between all air vents,
defogging air vents of front side windows,
windscreen defogging air vent and passengers
legs.
Position
For a better e fficiency, the dashboard air
vents are t o be closed. The whole airflow is directed towards de-
fogging strip and air vents of the front side win-
dows.
Position
Entire cockpit is outside isolated and out-
side air penetration is not allowed, climate con-
trol blower operation being stopped.
AIR QUANTITY CONTROL
The airflow ra te cycled in the cockpit is
settled by the (C) knob position, corresponding
to the four speeds of the climate control blower.
The more speed step is bigger the more airflow
is bigger.
REMARK
For a better efficiency of the windscreen
defrosting or defogging, t he (C) knob m ust
be placed on the last position.
In order to stop the climate control blower
operation, rotate the knob on “ 0” position.
