How to clean the inside of the cooling system
Things to prepare
• Container for cooling water
Capacity : 3.70 Qts. (3.5 L) or more
• Hose for supplying water
1) Swing the upper structure so that the drain plug (P) is
positioned in the middle of the right and left crawlers.
2) Place the container for cooling water under the drain
plug (P).
3) Remove the cover (1) under the starter switch. Slowly
turn and remove the radiator cap (2), and pour in a
washing agent. Then, mount the radiator cap (2).
IMPORTANT
Washing methods vary depending on the manufactur-
er of the washing agent.
Follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
4) Start the engine until the water temperature rises to 176
°F (80°C) or more and idle the engine for 10 to 15 min-
utes. Then stop the engine.
5) After the engine has cooled down, slowly loosen the
drain plug (P) to drain the water, and remove the radia-
tor cap (2).
When the drain plug (P) is removed, the water in the ra-
diator and the engine cylinder block is completely dis-
charged.
6) After the water is completely discharged, reinstall the
drain plug (P) and pour tap water into the water supply
port of the radiator.
7) When the cooling system is filled with water, remove the
drain plug (P), idle the engine and flush the cooling sys-
tem with running water until clean water comes out.
While flushing with running water, always keep the cool-
ing system completely filled with water by regulating the
amounts of water to be drained out and poured in.
Hold the water supply hose securely while flushing with
running water.
