Coolant Draining

2. Press down the reserve tank cap and turn it counterclockwise
to remove it.

1. Install the drain bolt.
2. First fill the reserve tank with coolant to the upper level line.
3. Install and securely tighten the reserve tank cap.
4. Start the engine and allow the cooling fan to run for at least
2 times. Then, stop the engine.(The engine must be cool
before removing the reserve tank cap, or severe scalding
may result.)
5. Remove the reserve tank cap and add coolant up to the
proper level if necessary. Then, reinstall the reserve tank cap.
6. Wait for 2 ~ 3 hours until the engine is cold. Check the
coolant level in the reserve tank and fill to the upper level
line if the level is under the lower level line.
Coolant Filling
When removing the reserve tank cap,
be more careful because the coolant is
under pressure and severe scalding
could result. Wait until the temperature
is lowered. Then, cover the reserve
tank cap with a towel and remove
it slowly.
Avoid spilling coolant on painted
surfaces. If this happens, immediately
flush with fresh water.
