The thermostat is a heat-sensitive valve located in
the coolant outlet connection in the front of the

flow of coolant to the radiator, allowing for rapid

coolant to circulate inside the engine whenever the
thermostat shuts off flow to the radiator.
Do not attempt to improve cooling by
removing the thermostat. This will cause the engine
to run below normal working temperatures, resulting
To install a new thermostat, 1, position it in the recess
of the water outlet connection so that the heat
element (spring end) is in the cylinder head of the
Check the condition of the fan belt after every
50 hours of operation. Check fan belt tension after
A belt-driven fan located at the front of the engine
draws air through the fins of the radiator to lower the
temperature of the radiator coolant.
When 9-11 kg (20-25 lbs.) of thumb pressure is
applied midway between the belt pulleys, a correctly
tightened belt will deflect 10 mm-15 mm
If the fan belt is slipping, fan efficiency is lowered,
resulting in the engine running too hot. If the belt is
too tight, the life of the alternator bearing will be
