6 8. Start the engine and warm up for a
few minutes. While warming up,
check for oil leakage. If oil leakage
is found, stop the engine immedi-
ately and check for the cause.
9. Stop the engine and check the oil
level.
EAU03024*
Cooling system1. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir when the engine
is cold as the coolant level will vary
with engine temperature. The
coolant level should be between
the maximum and minimum
marks.
2. If the level is low, remove the seat.
(See page 3-12 for seat removal
and installation procedures.)
3. Remove the coolant reservoir cap,
then add coolant or distilled water
to raise it to the specified level.4. Install the coolant reservoir cap
and seat.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which
will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
