5.42 OPERATION 21
Cooling system cleaning
Remove the filler cap (1) from the expansion reservoir (2) (Fig.5-19)
to make coolant draining easier.
WARNING: NEVER remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Unscrew the cap very slowly to release the pressure before taking it
off completely. Set a suitable vessel in position and drain out the
coolant through radiator plug (3) and through plug (not shown) of
the engine block.
Shut off the drain plugs and fill up the system with coolant fluid until
the level reaches 2025 mm below the edge of fill plug (1) (Fig.5-19)
of radiator (2).
Remove the fill plug and allow the engine to run at 1000 RPM for a
few minutes. Now check the level and top up if necessary. Shut the
fill plug once the cleaning operation has terminated.
NOTE: In an emergency, to make up for sudden leaks, the system can
be topped up with water by pouring this through the filler plug.
CAUTION: Have the fault repaired as soon as possible.
Fill with mixture as indicated in the table below. Fig.5-19
Precaution against freezing temperatures.
