SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
•
The water pump must be serviced after removing the engine. Other cooling system service can be
done with the engine installed in the frame.
•
The engine must be cool before servicing the cooling system.
When the coolant temperature is over 100
℃
, never remove the radiator cap to release the
pressure because the boiling coolant may cause danger.

Wash off any spilled coolant with fresh water as soon as possible.

After servicing the system, check for leaks with a cooling system tester.
