COOLANT LEVEL
Coolant Level
To check level, lift hood and look at “see-through” coolant reservoir
(1).
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned:
do not remove reservoir cap while coolant is “boiling”,
and
do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if either cap is taken off too soon.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir (2). A normal
coolant level should be between “FULL” (2) and “LOW” (3) marks
on reservoir.
If coolant level is below “LOW” mark, remove reservoir cap and add
proper coolant to reservoir to bring coolant level up to “FULL” mark.
Then, reinstall cap.
NOTE:
If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is no need to add
extra inhibitors or additives that claim to improve system.
They may be harmful to proper operation of system, and are
unnecessary expense.
When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks (4) on res-
ervoir and cap.
COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE
Cooling system should be serviced as follows.
1) Check cooling system for leakage or damage.
2) Wash radiator cap and filler neck with clean water by removing
radiator cap when engine is cold.
3) Check coolant for proper level and freeze protection.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove ra-
diator cap while engine and radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if cap is taken off too soon.
