COOLANT CHECK
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR
RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and
ºFULLº lines.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to the
ºFULLº line.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove
the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale
around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and the coolant
should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap. EG±330

COOLANT REPLACEMENT
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove
the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Loosen the 2 drain plugs (for the engine and radiator), and
drain the coolant.
(c) Close the drain plugs.

2. FILL ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Slowly fill the system with coolant.
wUse a good brand of ethylene±glycol base coolant and
mix it according to the manufacturer's directions.
wUsing coolant which includes more than 50 %
ethylene±glycol (but not more than 70 %) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
wDo not use an alcohol type coolant.
wThe coolant should be mixed with demineralized water or
distilled water.

THERMOSTAT REMOVAL
HINT: Removal of the thermostat would have an adverse ef-
fect, causing a lowering of cooling efficiency.
Do not remove the thermostat, even if the engine tends to
overheat.

(b) Remove the 2 nuts holding the water inlet to the water pump,
and disconnect the water inlet and lower radiator hose from
the water pump.
(c) Remove the thermostat.
(d) Remove the gasket from the thermostat.
THERMOSTAT INSPECTION
INSPECT THERMOSTAT
HINT: The thermostat is numbered with the valve opening
temperature.
(a) Immerse the thermostat in water and gradually heat the
water.
(b) Check the valve opening temperature.
Valve opening temperature:
80±84°C (176±183°F)
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace
the thermostat.
± ENGINECOOLING SYSTEMEG±341

(c) Check the valve lift.
Valve lift:
8.5 mm (0.335 in.) or more at 95°C (203°F)
If the valve lift is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
(d) Check that the valve spring is tight when the thermostat is
fully closed.
If not closed, replace the thermostat.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
1. PLACE THERMOSTAT IN WATER INLET
(a) Install a new gasket to the thermostat.
(b) Align the jiggle valve of the thermostat with the protrusion of
the water inlet.
2. INSTALL WATER INLET
(a) Install the water inlet with the 2 nuts.

RADIATOR
RADIATOR CLEANING
Using water or a steam cleaner, remove any mud and dirt
from the radiator core.
NOTICE: If using a high pressure type cleaner, be careful not
to deform the fins of the radiator core. If the cleaner nozzle
pressure is 2,942±3,432 kPa (30±35 kgf/cm
2, 427±498 psi), keep
a distance of at least 40 cm (15.75 in.) between the radiator core
and cleaner nozzle.
RADIATOR INSPECTION
1. REMOVE RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove
the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.

2. INSPECT RADIATOR CAP
NOTICE: When performing steps (a) and (b) below, keep the ra-
diator pump tester at an angle of over 30° above the horizontal.
(a) Using a radiator cap tester, slowly pump the tester and check
that air is coming from the relief valve.
Pump speed:
1 push/3 seconds or more
NOTICE: Push the pump at a constant speed.
If air is not coming from the relief valve, replace the radiator
cap.
(b) Pump the tester several times and measure the relief valve
opening pressure.
Pump speed:
1st time
1 push/1 second or less
2nd time or more
Any speed
Standard opening pressure:
93±123 kPa
(0.95±1.25 kgf/cm
2, 13.5±17.8 psi)
Minimum opening pressure:
78 kPa (0.8 kgf/cm
2, 11.4 psi)
If the opening pressure is less than minimum, replace the ra-
diator cap.
3. INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
(a) Fill the radiator with coolant, and attach a radiator cap tester.
(b) Warm up the engine.
(c) Pump it to 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm
2, 21.3 psi), and check that the
pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator or water
pump for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heat-
er core, cylinder block and cylinder head.
