Changing Radiator Coolant (L.L.C.)
CAUTION
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Then loosen cap slightly to the stop to relieve any excess
pressure before removing cap completely.
1. Stop the engine and let cool down.
2. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug (2) and
remove the radiator cap (1). Then radiator (1) must be removed
to completely drain the coolant. And open the drain valve of
engine body.
3. After all coolant is drained, close the drain plug (2).
4. Fill with clean water and cooling system cleaner.
5. Follow directions of the cleaner instruction.
6. After flushing, fill with clean water and anti-freeze until the
coolant level is just below the port. Install the radiator cap (1)
securely.
7. Fill with coolant up to FULL "A" mark on the recovery tank (3).
8. Start and operate the engine for few minutes.
9. Stop the engine and let cool. Check coolant level of radiator and
recovery tank (3) and add coolant if necessary.
IMPORTANT
• Do not start engine without coolant.
• Use clean, fresh, soft water and anti-freeze to fill the
radiator and recovery tank.
• When the anti-freeze is mixed with fresh, soft water, the
anti-freeze mixing ratio must be less than 50 %.
• Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is loose or
improperly fitted, water may leak out and the engine could
overheat.
