Open the maintenance cover (see page 23).
Check the coolant level in the reserve tank when the engine is at
normal operating temperature. If the level is near the MIN level, add
coolant to bring it up to the MAX level (see page 28 for coolant
recommendation).

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 add-
ed to the radiator and reserve tank.
m
The coolant is hot and under pressure and severe scalding
could result. Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Wait until the engine is cool,
then turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise until it stops. DO NOT PRESS DOWN WHILE
TURNING THE CAP. After any remaining pressure has been relieved,
remave 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 level with the engine cold. Recheck the reserve tank ante the
engine reaches normal operating temperature.
