COOLING SYSTEM

4
Engine coolant system (Radiator)
When water temperature at the radiator
raise up and its pressure passes over
the relief valve of the radiator head.
The above mentioned valve opens and
the steam goes out of the upper pipe
of this valve. Obviously some water is
gradually lost in this order, which must be
compensated, in proper inspections. The
radiator mustn't overpass the bottom line
of the radiator glottis. Keep in mind that
radiator overhead must be completely
closed at all seasons and the packing
rubber at overhead must be intact.

Flowing out radiator water
At first we must remove the radiator
overhead (according to figure).
Put the control lever of heater on warm
after removing the overhead then open
the evacuation valve under the radiator
as well as engine nearside the evacuation
valve to deplete (evacuate) water (the
figure on the next page).
Warning
Cooling system fan is electrical and
may continue working a few minutes
after the engine is switched off. To
help preventing personal injury, keep
away from working fan while engine
compartment cover is open.
Warning
If you need to check the water cooling
after a long driving, keep in mind
never open the radiator at once;
but firstly turn it 1/4 round to the left
and wait a moment till the system
inside the compartment at the top
of radiator is gradually depleted and
lose the pressure. Turn the overhead
completely to the left side and open it.
