Replacing thermostat and precautions for handling
(1) Precautions for handling
The wax pallet type thermostat does not react as quickly as bellows type one to a vari-
ation of temperature of coolant. Such relatively slow reaction is mainly due to the large
heat capacity of the wax pellet type thermostat. Therefore, to avoid a sharp rise of
coolant temperature, it is essential to idle the engine sufficiently before running it. In cold
weather, do not run the engine at overload or overspeed it immediately after engine start-
ing.
(2) When draining out or replenishing coolant, do it slowly so that air is bled sufficiently from
the entire cooling system.
(3) Replacing thermostat
If the thermostat is detected defective, retrace with a new one.
