The cooling system must be filled with coolant and not leak to operate at maximum efficiency. Check the coolant level regularly. The level should be between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks on the expansion tank. The

check should be made with particular thoroughness when the engine is new or when the cooling system has been drained.

Do not remove the filler cap other than for topping up with coolant. Frequent removal may prevent coolant circulation between the engine and the expansion tank during engine warm up and cooling.

Changing coolant

Normally, the coolant does not need to be changed. If the system must be drained, use the following procedure:

1 Remove the expansion tank cap.

2 Move the temperature adjustment control to max. heat. Open the drain cocks at the rear left of the engine block and at the bottom right corner of the radiator.

3 Disconnect the lower right radiator hose.

Filling:

4 Close the drain cocks and reconnect the hose.

5 Fill the expansion tank to the MAX mark or slightly above.

6 Run the engine until hot. Check the cooling system connections for tightness. Recheck the coolant level.
