+Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
+Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Stop engine.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
4. Drain oil and refill with new engine oil.

Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter turn
to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap
by turning it all the way.

Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot; serious
burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.

turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape
and then turn the cap all the way off.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSESNLLC0054S01Check hoses for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATORNLLC0054S02Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as
follows.
+Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.
+When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all sur-
rounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator shroud and horns.
Then tape the harness and connectors to prevent water from
entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core ver-
tically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surfaces once per
minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from the radia-
tor.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.
+Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm
2,71
psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm (11.8 in).
5. Blow air again into all the radiator core surfaces once per
