There are 2 kinds of thermostats according to surrounding and operating conditions.
One is named by 71
˚
C
type and the other is 79
˚
C
.

Inspecting
(1) Check the wax pallet and spring for
damage.
(2) Put the thermostat in a container of
water, then heat the water slowly and
check temperature with a thermometer.
If the valve lift is 0.1 mm (starting to
open) at temperature of 71
˚
C
and 8
mm or more (full open) at temperature
of 85
˚
C
, the thermostat is normal.

Replacing thermostat and precautions for handling
(1) Precautions for handling
The wax pallet type thermostat does not react as quickly as bellows type one to a varia-
tion of temperature of coolant. Such relatively slow reaction is mainly due to the large heat
capacity of the wax pellet type thermostat. Therefore, to avoid a sharp rise of coolant tem-
perature, it is essential to idle the engine sufficiently before running it. In cold weather, do
not run the engine at overload or overspeed it immediately after starting off.
(2) When draining out or replenishing coolant, do it slowly so that air is bled sufficiently from
the entire cooling system.
(3) Replacing thermostat
If the thermostat is detected defective, retrace with a new one.
