ADDING THE COOLANT
(1)
Tighten the drain cock of the radiator and the drain plug of the oil
cooler.
(2)
Remove the radiator cap.
! CAUTION
Improper or careless removal of the radiator cap may cause burns
from spewing hot water or vapor. Remove the cap after the coolant
temperature meter reads below the specified temperature.
(3)
Top up with coolant to the inlet.
! CAUTION
•
A sudden injection prevents air in the cooling pipe system
from bleeding smoothly, resulting in a prolonged injection.
•
If air blows back, once stop adding coolant and wait for a
while before resuming.
NOTICE
Bring pressure on the two radiator hoses for a few times with
hands. If the coolant level of the radiator inlet decreases, add
coolant.
(4)
Mount the radiator cap.
(5)
Add the coolant into the reserve tank to FULL, and tighten the
cap.
(6)
Warm up the engine until the thermostat injection valve opens.
NOTICE
Bring pressure on the 2 radiator hoses for a few times during
engine warming up
(7)
After stopping the engine, check the water level. If the water level
has decreased, add coolant by following steps (3) through (7).
Repeat it until the water level no longer lowers and bleed air in the
radiator and engine.
! CAUTION
Entry of air causes overheat and coolant leakage from the coolant
pump.
NOTICE
Check that hot air flows out from the foot duct during engine rac-
ing.
(8)
Add the coolant into the reserve tank to FULL, and tighten the
cap.
