(Tightening torque of 2 Nm).
2. Refill the radiator with coolant (refer to

3. Top liquid up until the pipes inside the radiator are
covered by about 5 mm.
4. For engines equipped with separate expansion tank,
pour in fluid until reaching the max level mark.
5. Loosen the screw F on the head H, release any air and
tighten the screw F (Tightening torque of 8 Nm - Fig.
10.6).
6. Start the engine without the radiator cap A or the
expansion tank (C) cap B.
7. Keep it running at idle speed until the cooling liquid
level goes down and becomes steady (the waiting
times varies according to the ambient temperature).
8. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
9. If there is an expansion tank (C) top liquid up to the
mark MAX.
10. Without expansion tank top liquid up until the pipes
inside the radiator are covered by 5 mm. Do not overfill
the radiator, but leave room for the coolant to expand.
