- Start engine and let it idle for about 10
minutes.
- Maintain an engine speed of about 2000 RPM
for about 5 minutes.
- Allow engine to run at idling speed until bottom
hose on radiator becomes hot.
- Check coolant level and top up if necessary.
When engine is at normal operating temperature
coolant level must be on max. mark, and
between min. and max. marks when engine is
cold.
Note:
When the engine is hot the cooling system is
under pressure. Carefully open filler cap on
expansion tank to release pressure before
starting repair work.
WARNING!
Hot steam can escape from the expansion
tank when the filler cap is opened. Cover the
filler cap with a cloth and remove it carefully.
