IMPORTANT
: Core must be token to protect alternator from water whenever working on cooling systems fitted close to this unit.
Two operations are involved
- Complete filling i roolir~g c~s~<,v, nvd bvolvr ,,ail ,
- Partial filling I roolir,p ~J~S/IW, oul~* 1
NOTES
Draining the radiator and the engine unit does not involve draining the heater unit.
- De-aeration of the system is only operative when the thermostat is open 1 v,rgiur wnnu J.
I. COMPLETE REFILLING 1. Remove
spare wheel
.
2. Open heater control to fullest extent ( inside
vehicle 1.
3. Unscrew the two bleed screws ( 1 ) and ( 2 ).
Place a tronsporent tube
200 mm in length
over each screw in order to ovoid the escape
of the liquid.
4. Disconnect the heater outlet hose and pour in
approximately 0.6 litre of cooling liquid.
Reconnect tube ( 4).
5. Fill remainder of circuit slowly through the
header tank and close bleed screws I 1) and
( 2) after releasing air
6. Remove transparent tubes ( 3) and close header
tank.
