6B-8 ENGINE COOLING
Condition
Engine overheats
COOLANT
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant
in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is
collected in the reservoir tank.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn
back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with
a quality coolant that is a 50/50 mixture of water and
GOLDEN CRUISER 1200. (ethylene glycol anti-
freeze.)
This 50/50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing
protection to –36_C (–33_F).
D Maintain cooling system freeze protection at –36_C
(–33_F) to ensure protection against corrosion and
loss of coolant from boiling.
This should be done even if freezing temperatures
are not expected.
DIAGNOSIS
Possible Cause
D Loose or broken generator belt
D Not enough coolant
D Faulty thermostat
D Faulty water pump
D Dirty or bent radiator fins
D Coolant leakage on cooling system
D Defective cooling fan motor
D Faulty fan motor control circuit
D Plugged radiator
D Faulty radiator cap
D Maladjusted ignition timing
D Dragging brakes
D Slipping clutch
MAINTENANCE
Adjust or replace.
Check coolant level and add as necessary.

Clean or remedy.
Repair.
Check and replace as necessary.
Refer to Section 6E1 or 6E2.
Check and replace radiator as necessary.
Replace.
Adjust.
Adjust brake.
Adjust or replace.
D Add ethylene glycol base coolant when coolant has
to be added because of coolant loss or to provide
added protection against freezing at temperature
lower than –36_C (–33_F).
NOTE:
D Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain
water alone should not be used in cooling
system at any time as damage to cooling sys-
tem could occur.
D Even in a market where no freezing tempera-
ture is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and
30% ethylene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/
Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for
the purpose of corrosion protection and lu-
brication.
