MAINTENANCE
COOLANT
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is col-
lected in the reservoir tank.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a quality coolant that is either 50 / 50 mixture of water and
GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 (ethylene glycol antifreeze.) or 30 / 70 mixture of water and GOLDEN CRUISER 1200.
The 50 / 50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing protection to – 36
C (– 33
F), the 30 / 70 mixture coolant solu-
tion provides freezing protection to – 16
C (3
F).
When changing the engine coolant, use mixture of 50% water and 50% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 for the market
where ambient temperature falls lower than – 16
C (3
F) in winter and mixture of 70% water and 30% GOLDEN
CRUISER 1200 for the market where ambient temperature doesn’t fall lower than – 16
C (3
F).
NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any time
as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethylene
glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze / Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corrosion protec-
tion and lubrication.

COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH AND REFILL
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator cap while engine and ra-
diator are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown
out under pressure if cap is taken off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool:
Turn cap counterclockwise slowly until it reaches a “stop”.
(Do not press down while turning it.)
Wait until pressure is relieved (indicated by a hissing sound)
then press down on cap and continue to turn it counterclock-
wise.
2) With radiator cap removed, run engine until upper radiator
hose is hot (this shows that thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through system).
3) Stop engine and open radiator drain plug (1) to drain coolant.
4) Close drain plug. Add water until system is filled and run engine
until upper radiator hose is hot again.
5) Repeat Steps 3) and 4) several times until drained liquid is
nearly colorless.
6) Drain system and then close radiator drain plug tightly.
7) Disconnect reservoir tank hose from radiator. Remove reser-
voir tank and pour out any fluid. Scrub and clean inside of tank
with soap and water.
Flush it well with clean water and drain. Reinstall tank and
hose.
8) add 50 / 50 mixture of GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 (Good quality
ethylene glycol anti-freeze) and water to radiator and tank.
Fill radiator to the base of radiator filler neck and reservoir tank
to “FULL” level mark. Reinstall reservoir tank cap.
9) Run engine, with radiator cap removed, until radiator upper
hose is hot.
10) With engine idling, add coolant to radiator until level reaches
the bottom of filler neck. Install radiator cap, making sure that
the ear of cap lines up with reservoir tank hose.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WARNING:
Check to make sure that engine coolant temperature is
cold before removing any part of cooling system.
Also be sure to disconnect negative cord from battery ter-
minal before removing any part.
COOLING WATER PIPES OR HOSES
REMOVAL
1) Drain cooling system.
2) To remove these pipes or hoses, loosen screw on each pipe or
hose clip and pull hose end off.
INSTALLATION
Install removed parts in reverse order of removal procedure, noting
the following.
Tighten each clamp bolt securely.
Refill cooling system with proper coolant, referring to description
on COOLANT of MAINTENANCE.
THERMOSTAT
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Drain cooling system and tighten drain plug.
3) Disconnect thermostat cap (1) from thermostat case (2).

4) Remove thermostat (1).
INSPECTION
1) Make sure that air bleed valve (1) of thermostat is clean.
Should this valve be clogged, engine would tend to overheat.
2) Check to make sure that valve seat is free from foreign matters
which would prevent valve from seating tight.
3) Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows:
Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
Check that valve starts to open at specific temperature.
If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially below or
above specific temperature, thermostat unit should be re-
placed with a new one. Such a unit, if reused, will bring about
overcooling or overheating tendency.
INSTALLATION
1) When positioning thermostat on thermostat case, be sure to
position it so that air bleed valve comes uppermost and into the
recession of thermostat case.
2) Install thermostat cap to thermostat case. When installing cap,
align arrow marks on cap and case.
3) Fill cooling system.
4) Connect negative cable.
5) After installation, check each part for leakage.

WATER PUMP
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Drain cooling system.
3) Remove timing belt and tensioner according to procedure de-
scribed in “TIMING BELT AND TENSIONER” of Section 6A or
6A1.
4) Remove water pump belt adjusting arm.
5) Remove water pump assembly (1).
INSPECTION
NOTE:
Do not disassemble water pump.
If any repair is required on pump, replace it as assembly.
Rotate water pump by hand to check for smooth operation.
If pump does not rotate smoothly or makes abnormal noise, replace
it.
INSTALLATION
1) Install new pump gasket to cylinder block.
2) Install water pump to cylinder block.
Tightening Torque
(a): 12 N
.m (1.2 kg-m, 9.0 lb-ft)
3) After installing water pump, install rubber seal (1) between water
pump and oil pump, and another between water pump and cylin-
der head.
4) Install timing belt tensioner, timing belt and timing belt outside
covers according to procedure described in “TIMING BELT AND
TENSIONER” of Section 6A or 6A1.
NOTE:
Special care must be used when installing belt tensioner
and timing belt.
Torque each bolt and nut to specification.
Before installing outside covers, check to make sure that
cover seal is fitted in groove of each cover properly.

5) Install crankshaft pulley, water pump pulley, and pump drive
belt referring to Section 6A or 6A1.
6) Adjust water pump belt tension.
7) Install fender apron extension on right side.
8) Install air cleaner assembly.
9) Connect negative cable at battery.
10) Fill cooling system.
