COOLANT
LEVEL

Pour
coolant
into
the

radiator

up
to

the

cap
and
also
into
the
reservoir

up

to
the
MAX
level

CAUTION

To
avoid
serious

personal
injury
never

remove

radiator

cap
quickly
when

engine
is

hot
Sudden
release
of

cool

ing
system
pressure
is

very
dangerous

If

it
is

necessary
to
remove
radiator

cap
when
radiator
is
hot
turn

cap

slowly
counterclockwise
to
the
first

step
After
all

pressure
in
the
cool

ing

system
is
released
turn

cap
passing

the

stop
and
remove
it

TORQUE

The

torque
coupling
keeps
the
fan

speed
at
2
900

rpm
rated

or
below
to

conserve

horsepower
at

high

engine

speed
It
also

helps
reduce

noise
to

a
minimum

during

opera

tion

This

is
filled
with
a

special

silicone
oil
used

as
a
fluid

coupling

which
controls
the

speed
Silicone

model

equipped

Tem
coupling
is

a

type
of
fan

coupling
which
is

provided
with
a

temperature
control

system

The
conventional

coupling
always

slips
the
fan
at

a

high

speed
under
a

constant

ratio

regardless
of
the

engine

cooling

requirement

The

slipping
ratio
of
the
Tem

coupling
however
is

properly
changed

with
the

cooling
requirement

ON
denotes
that

cooling
is

required
and
the
fan

operates
up
to

about
2

900rpm
When

high
cooling
is

not

required
during
cold

the

oper

ation

is

placed

and

The
coiled
bimetal
thermostat

installed
on
the
front
center

portion
of

the
Tem

coupling
detects

temperature

of
air

passing

through
the
radiator

The
air

temperature
is

directly

relative

to
the

engine
coolant

tempera

ture

and
the
inside
slide
valve

is

opened
or

closed
as

required
and
thus

the
ON

control
is

performed

When
the
air

temperature
rises

the

bimetal
is

expanded
and
the
valve
is

opened
silicone

is
forwarded

to
the

When
