ITEM 5-2
Brake Hoses and Pipes Inspection
Perform this inspection where there is enough light and use a mirror
as necessary.
Check brake hoses and pipes for proper hook-up, leaks, cracks,
chafing, wear, corrosion, bends, twists and other damage.
Replace any of these parts as necessary.
Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leakage.
Check that hoses and pipes are clear of sharp edges, moving
parts.
CAUTION:
After replacing any brake pipe or hose, be sure to carry out
air purge operation.
ITEM 5-3
Brake Fluid Change
CAUTION:
Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-filled with
brake fluid indicated on reservoir cap, do not use or mix dif-
ferent type of fluid when refilling; otherwise serious dam-
age will occur.
Do not use old or used brake fluid, or any fluid from a un-
sealed container.
Change brake fluid as follows.
Drain existing fluid from brake system completely, fill system with
specified fluid and carry out air purge operation.
For air purging procedure, refer to SECTION 5.

6B-6 ENGINE COOLING
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.
