5. Flush the cooling system.
Pour soft water (preferably after heating moder-
ately) through the radiator cap opening and start
the engine.
Run the engine at a medium range RPM until
the water temperature exceeds 85
°
C (185
°
F),
and continue running the engine for about 10
minutes more from that point. Stop the engine
and discharge the water. Remember that the
water is very hot.
Repeat the above procedure until the water is
free of dirt.
CAUTION
If the radiator tubing is blocked or coolant is
more contaminated than usual, have your vehi-
cle inspected at an authorized dealer.
6. Pour coolant (soft water plus additives) into the
radiator up to a level slightly lower than the filler
opening. If coolant is poured to the top of the
opening, it will overflow as it becomes warm and
expands during engine operation.
7. With radiator cap left removed, run the engine
for a while in order to remove air from the cool-
ing system.
8. Stop the engine, and add more coolant if neces-
sary.
CAUTION
If air is not completely removed from the cool-
ing system, this may lead to reduced cooling
efficiency and engine parts failure. After replac-
ing the coolant, drive the vehicle and then check
the coolant level in the radiator.
9. Screw the radiator cap down tightly.
10. Lower the cab.
11. Fill the reservoir tank with the coolant (additives
plus soft water) to the “FULL” line, then replace
the cap.
12. Briefly run the engine to make sure that there
are no coolant leaks.
13. Make sure that the coolant level in the reservoir
tank is between the “FULL” and “LOW” lines.
Add coolant if necessary.
14. Close the front panel. Make sure that the panel
is locked.
15. Clean the radiator core and intercooler.
If the front of the radiator core or intercooler is
plugged with mud or dust, cooling efficiency will
be reduced and the parts will be rusted. Clean
the radiator core at regular intervals.
