Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding
CAUTION: When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut
th6 relay box lid and not to l€t coolant spill on th6 el€c-
trical parts or the paint. lf any coolant spills, rinse it off
immediately.
1. Slide the heater temDerature control lever to maxi-
mum heat.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
3. Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant.
4. Remove the drain bolt from the cvlinder block.

5. Apply liquid gasket to the drain bolt threads, then
reinstall the bolt with a new washer and tighten it
securely.
6. Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
7. Remove, drain and reinstall the reservoir. Fillthe tank
halfway to the MAX mark with water, then up to
MAX mark with antifreeze.

8.Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal
amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
a Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.
a For best corrosion protection, the coolant concen-
tration must be maintained year-round at 500,6
minimum. Coolant concentrations less than 507o
may not provide sufficient protection against cor,
rosion or freezing.
a Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will im-
pair cooling efliciency and are not recommended.
CAUTION:
a Do not mix different brands of anti-lrcezel
coolants.
a Do not use additional rust inhibitots or anti-tustproducts; they may not be compatible with the
coolant.

9.Pour coolant into the radiator up to the base of the
tiller neck.
10. Startthe engine and let jt run until itwarmsup(the
radiator fan comes on at least twice).
1 1 . Turn olf the engine. Check the level in the radiator,
add coolant if needed.
'12. Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine
again and check for leaks.

Cap Testing
1.Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine
coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
Apply a pressure of:
93 123 kPa(0.95 1.25 kgf/cm', 13.5 17.8 psi)
Check for a drop in pressure.

Pressure Testing
1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine
coolant to the top ot the filler neck.
2. Attach the pressure tester to the radiator and apply
a pressure of:
93 123 kPa(O.95- 1.25 kgf/cmr, 13.5-'17.8 psi)
3. Inspect lor engine coolant leaks and a drop inpressure.
4. Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
NOTE:
a Check for engine oil in the engine coolant and/orcoolant in the engine oil.a Check for ATF in the engine coolant and/orcoolant in the ATF {A/T}.
