-Checking Cooling Systern-
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine
IS
hot, serious burns could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator
Wrap
a thick cloth around cap and carefully re-
move the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow
built-up pressure
to escape and then turn the cap
all the way off.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage,
loose connections, chafing and deteriora-
tion
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system by means of
a tester to check for leakage
Test i ng pressure.
157 kPa (1 6 kg/cm2, 23 psi)
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap by means of
a cap
tester to see if it is satisfactory
Radiator cap relief pressure:
59 - 98 kPa (0.6 - 1.0 kglcm' , 9 - 14 psi)
