Installation
1. Install rubber cushions on both sides of radiator
bottom.
2. Install radiator assembly with hose, taking care not to
damage the radiator core with a fan blade.
3. Install bracket (6) and support the radiator upper tank
with the bracket (5) and secure the radiator.
4. Connect reserve tank hose (4).
5. Install lower fan guide (3).
6. Connect radiator inlet hose and outlet hose to the
engine.
7. Connect oil cooler hose (1) to automatic
transmission.

8. Connect battery ground cable.
9. Pour engine coolant up to filler neck of radiator, and
up to MAX mark of reserve tank.
111 R S 0 0 1Important operation (in case of 100% engine coolant
change) procedure for filling with engine coolant.
1. Make sure that the engine is cool.
2. Open radiator cap pour coolant up to filler neck.
3. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to “MAX” line.
4. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After
idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and
reopen radiator cap. If the water level is lower,
replenish.
WARNING: WHEN THE COOLANT IS HEATED TO A
HIGH TEMPERATURE, BE SURE NOT TO LOOSEN
OR REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP. OTHERWISE YOU
MIGHT GET SCALDED BY HOT VAPOR OR BOILING
WATER. TO OPEN THE RADIATOR CAP, PUT A
PIECE OF THICK CLOTH ON THE CAP AND LOOSEN
THE CAP SLOWLY TO REDUCE THE PRESSURE
WHEN THE COOLANT HAS BECOME COOLER.
5. After tightening radiator cap, warm up the engine
at about 2000 rpm. Set heater adjustment to the
highest temperature position, and let the coolant
circulate also into heater water system.
6. Check to see the thermostat has opened through
the needle position of water thermometer,
conduct a 5–minute idling again and stop the
engine.
7. When the engine has been cooled, check filler
neck for water level and replenish if required.
Should extreme shortage of coolant is found,
check the cooling system and reservoir tank hose
for leakage.
8. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up tp “MAX” line.

The battery temperature must be estimated by feel
and by the temperature the battery has been
exposed to for the preceding few hours.
Battery Charging
Observe the following safety precautions when charging
the battery:
1. Never attempt to charge the battery when the fluid
level is below the lower level line on the side of the
battery. In this case, the battery must be replaced.
2. Pay close attention to the battery during charging
procedure.
Battery charging should be discontinued or the rate of
charge reduced if the battery feels hot to the touch.
Battery charging should be discontinued or the rate of
charge reduced if the battery begins to gas or spew
electrolyte from the vent holes.
3. In order to more easily view the hydrometer blue dot
or ring, it may be necessary to jiggle or tilt the battery.
4. Battery temperature can have a great effect on
battery charging capacity.
5. The sealed battery used on this vehicle may be either
quick charged or slow charged in the same manner as
other batteries.
Whichever method you decide to use, be sure that
you completely charge the battery. Never partially
charge the battery.
Jump Starting
Jump Starting with an Auxiliary (Booster)
Battery
CAUTION: Never push or tow the vehicle in an
attempt to start it. Serious damage to the emission
system as well as other vehicle parts will result.Treat both the discharged battery and the booster
battery with great care when using jumper cables.
Carefully follow the jump starting procedure, being
careful at all times to avoid sparking.
WARNING: FAILURE TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN
THE FOLLOWING:
1. Serious personal injury, particularly to your eyes.
2. Property damage from a battery explosion, battery
acid, or an electrical fire.
3. Damage to the electronic components of one or both
vehicles particularly.
Never expose the battery to an open flame or electrical
spark. Gas generated by the battery may catch fire or
explode.
Remove any rings, watches, or other jewelry before
working around the battery. Protect your eyes by wearing
an approved set of goggles.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with your eyes
or skin.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with fabrics or
painted surfaces.
Battery fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin,
fabric, or a painted surface, immediately and thoroughly
rinse the affected area with clean tap water.
Never allow metal tools or jumper cables to come in
contact with the positive battery terminal, or any other
metal surface of the vehicle. This will protect against a
short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of reach of young children.
Jump Starting Procedure
1. Set the vehicle parking brake.
If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
transmission, place the selector level in the “PARK”
position.
If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission,
place the shift lever in the “NEUTRAL” position.
Turn “OFF” the ignition.
Turn “OFF” all lights and any other accessory
requiring electrical power.
2. Look at the built–in hydrometer.
If the indication area of the built–in hydrometer is
completely clear, do not try to jump start.
3. Attach the end of one jumper cable to the positive
terminal of the booster battery.
Attach the other end of the same cable to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery.
Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other. This will
cause a ground connection, effectively neutralizing
the charging procedure.
Be sure that the booster battery has a 12 volt rating.
