dropped to the ADD mark, only one quart is required to raise
level to the FULL mark. Do not overfill. Some oil is inevitably

cooling system as follows:
• Check the radiator coolant level when the engine is cold
(before running). When cold. marntain coolant level
1-1
/2
rnches to 2 inches below the rear of the filler-neck surface
(1/2 to
1
inch when hot). We recommend a
50/50
anti
freeze/water mixture for refilling.
• If you must remove the radiator cap when the engine 1s
hot, let the engine cool down by letting 1t idle for a few
moments before removing the cap.
WARNING:
Turn the cap slowly to the first notch to let any
pressure escape before removing the cap. Use
a
heavy rag or
towel wrapped over the cap to avoid in1ury.
•
If the engine is overheated,
be extremely careful.
Let the
engine idle for a period above normal idle speed with the
hood up unless all coolant has been lost Shut off the
engine and let it cool for
15
minutes, then remove the cap
as outlined above.

every
3,000

sequence to check level accurately:
