Coolant - Honda EXT12D Maintenance Manual

Coolant

1. Open the maintenance lid (see page
2. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank when the engine is at
normal operating temperature.
If the level is near the MIN mark, add coolant to bring up to MAX
mark.
MAX (UPPER LEVEL)
MIN (LOWER LEVEL)
3. If there is no coolant in the reserve tank, the cooling system should
be checked for leaks and repaired if necessary. Coolant must then be
added to the radiator and reserve tank.
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant
is under pressure and severe scalding could result.
Wait until the engine is cool, then turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise until stops. DO NOT PRESS DOWN WHILE
TURNING THE CAP. After any remaining pressure has been relieved,
remove the cap by pressing down and again turning it
counterclockwise. Add enough coolant to fill the radiator, and
reinstall the cap. Be sure to tighten it securely. Fill the reserve tank
up to the MAX mark with the engine cold.
