Check coolant level
The cooling system must be filled with coolant and not leak to operate at maximum efficiency. Check
the coolant level regularly. The level should be between the "Max" and "Min" marks on the expansion
tank. The check should be made with particular thoroughness when the engine is new or when the
cooling system has been drained.
Do not remove the filler cap other than for topping-up with coolant. Frequent removal may prevent
coolant circulations between the engine tank during engine warm-up and cooling.
Changing coolant
Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, use the following
procedure:
Remove the expansion tank cap. Open the drain cock on the right side of the engine block and
disconnect the lower radiator hose.
Fill coolant through the expansion tank. The heater controls should be fully open when draining and
filling.
Add coolant until the level is up to the MAX mark or slightly above.
Start the engine and run until hot. Check the cooling system connections for tightness. Also re-check the
coolant level.
