5. Inspect the hose clamps and replace as neces-
sary.
6. Slide the hose clamps over the outside of the
hose and install hose fitting. Make sure the hose
clears all obstructions and is routed properly.
NOTE
If it is difficult to install a hose on a
fitting, soak the end of the hose in hot
water for approximately two minutes.
This will soften the hose and ease instal-
lation.

7. With the hose positioned correctly on the
fitting, position the clamps slightly back away
from the end of the hose. Tighten the clamps
securely, but not so much that the hose is dam-
aged (Figure 24).
8. Refill the cooling system as described under
Coolant Change in Chapter Three. Start the en-
gine and check for leaks. Tighten the hose
clamps as necessary.
Coolant check valve and filter
Some models are equipped with a coolant
filter (A, Figure 26) and check valve (B, Figure
26). The check valve must be installed so it will
allow coolant to flow in the correct direction.
