Flushing Cooling System and Changing Coolant
WARNING
To avoid serious injury:
• Do not remove the radiator cap while coolant is hot. When
cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and allow sufficient
time for excess pressure to escape before removing the
cap completely.
1. Stop the engine and let cool down.
2. Open the hood.
3. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug and remove
radiator cap and engine coolant breather. The radiator cap must
be removed to completely drain the coolant.
4. After all coolant is drained, close the drain plug.
5. Fill with clean water and cooling system cleaner.
6. Follow directions of the cleaner instruction.
7. After flushing, fill with clean distilled water and antifreeze until
the coolant level is just below the radiator cap.
Install the radiator cap securely.
8. Fill with fresh distilled water up to the "FULL" mark on the
recovery tank.
9. Close the engine coolant breather.
10. Start and operate the engine for few minutes.
11. Stop the engine and let cool.
12. Check coolant level of recovery tank and add coolant if
necessary.
Coolant Capacity
IMPORTANT
• Do not start engine without coolant.
• Do not remove the cap on the radiator.
• Use clean, fresh distilled water and anti-freeze to fill the
radiator and recovery tank.
• When the anti-freeze is mixed with distilled water, the
antifreeze mixing ratio is 50 %.
• Securely tighten radiator cap. If the cap is loose or
improperly fitted, water may leak out and the engine could
overheat.
• Make sure that the engine coolant breather is closed, after
filling the coolant.
