Simple inspection and service
9. Tilt the cab. If the vehicle is a Crew-cab model
vehicle, uncover the engine coolant inspection
opening.
10. Pour
COOLANT plus soft water) up to the top of the
pressure cap opening. Pour the coolant slowly
to prevent air from mixing with it.
NOTE:
When refilling the radiator on a Crew-cab model
vehicle, pour coolant slowly to prevent it from over-
flowing the filler port.
11. Check that the coolant level in the pressure cap
Z21265
opening does not go down, then fit the pressure
cap (turn it clockwise until it is tight).
CAUTION
If air is not completely removed from the cool-
ing system, this may lead to reduced cooling
efficiency and engine parts failure. After replac-
ing the coolant, drive the vehicle and then check
the coolant level.
12. Lower the cab.
13. Fill the reservoir tank with the coolant (FUSO
DIESEL LONGLIFE COOLANT plus soft water)
to the "FULL" line, then replace the cap.
14. Start the engine and keep it running at a speed
slightly higher than the specified idling speed to
expel air from the cooling system. When the
coolant temperature indicator shows the 8th
segment on the scale, allow the engine to idle
for at least 10 minutes before stopping it.
15. When the engine has cooled, open the pressure
cap and, if the coolant level is too low, add cool-
ant until it reaches the top of the pressure cap
opening.
16. Screw the pressure cap down tightly by turning it
clockwise.
NOTE:
Be sure to screw the pressure cap tightly. Other-
wise, boiling water and steam under high pressure
will gush out if the engine overheats.
17. Run the engine a few more minutes to make
sure that there are no coolant leaks.
18. Make sure that the coolant level in the reservoir
Z21266
tank is in the specified range. Add coolant if nec-
essary.
