Coolant
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:

Do not remove the radiator cap while
coolant is hot. When cool, slowly rotate

time for excess pressure to escape before
removing the cap completely.
1. Stop the engine and let cool down.
2. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain
plug and remove radiator cap. The radiator
cap must be removed to completely drain the
coolant.
3. After all coolant is drained, close the drain
plug.
4. Fill with clean water and cooling system
cleaner.
5. Follow directions of the cleaner instruction.
6. After flushing, fill with clean water and anti-
freeze until the coolant level is just below
the radiator cap.
Fill with fresh water up to the “FULL” mark
on the recovery tank.
7. Start and operate the engine for few
minutes.
8. Stop the engine and let cool.

IMPORTANT:

Do not start engine without coolant.

Use clean, fresh water and anti-freeze to
fill the radiator and recovery tank.

When the anti-freeze is mixed with water,
the antifreeze mixing ratio must be less
than 50%.

Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is
loose or improperly fitted, water may leak
out and the engine could overheat.
