Refilling the coolant
1.
Make sure drain cocks and plugs are closed tightly.
2.
Remove the radiator cap, and pour in undiluted
LLC.
Note:
Determine the amounts of LLC and water to be
added by using the LLC concentration chart. For
coolant, refer to
"COOLANT" (6-1)
.
For coolant capacity, refer to
"MAIN SPECIFI-
CATIONS" (12-1)
.
3.
Pour in water (soft water with minimal impurities,
such as tap water) slowly to the full level.
4.
Check the radiator and other parts for coolant
leaks. If a coolant leak is found, repair it.
5.
When coolant reaches the full level, close the radi-
ator cap securely.
6.
Shut off the fuel supply and crank the engine for
about 10 seconds or less using the starter. Wait for
about 1 minute, then repeat the above cranking
operation to remove air from the water pump.

To crank the engine, shut off the fuel supply to the
engine and operate the starters.
7.
Check the coolant level in the radiator. If the
engine is equipped with a reserve tank, fill the
reserve tank with coolant to the full level as well.
&$87,21
When adding coolant, use a coolant that has the same
LLC concentration as the coolant already in the radia-
tor.
