Fill

Close the drain cock on the radiator.

Fill the cooling system with the designated coolant. Do not install the radiator cap. For coolant
specification and capacity, see chapter 5-3, “Lubricants and Capacity” or the last page in this manual.

Start and run the engine at low idle. Increase the engine rpm to high idle. Run the engine at high idle
for one minute in order to purge the air from the cavities of the engine block. Stop the engine.

Check the coolant level. Maintain the coolant level within 13mm (0.5 in.) below the bottom of the
pipe for filling. Maintain the coolant level in the expansion tank at the correct level.

Clean the radiator cap. Inspect the gasket that is on the radiator cap. If the gasket is damaged,
install a new radiator cap.

Start the engine. Inspect the cooling system for leaks and for correct operating temperature.

Use the coolant with anti-freeze solution in cold weather.

Anti-freeze solution is filled up from the factory. After first winter, change the coolant to remove the
debris or corrosion.
▶
Do not fill the cooling system faster than 5 L (1.3 US gal.) per minute to avoid air
locks. Cooling system air locks may result in engine damage.


If possible, always use the anti-freeze solution. If not, change the coolant with anti-freeze solution
before winter time.

Run the engine for about 5 minutes after filling anti-freeze to mix it with water well.
※
Anti-freeze

The amount of anti-freeze in the coolant must be determined on the ambient temperature. If the
amount of anti-freeze in the coolant is low, the coolant can be frozen and the engine and radiator
may be damaged.

Mix the water and anti-freeze with 40%~60% according to operating condition as below table and fill
radiator and engine the mixture after checking the volume and capacity.
