ENGINE
COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION
WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap
1
, drain
bolt and hoses when the engine and radia-
tor are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure, which
could cause serious injury.
When the engine has cooled, place a thick
towel over the radiator cap, slowly rotate
the cap counterclockwise to the detent.
This procedure allows any residual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissing sound
has stopped, press down on the cap while
turning counterclockwise and remove it.
CAUTION:

Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine parts. You may use distilled water, if
you can’t get soft water.
1. Place the machine on a level place, and
hold it in an upright position.
2. Inspect:
l
Coolant level
Coolant level should be between the
maximum
a
and minimum
b
marks.
Coolant level is below the “LOW” level
line
®
Add soft water (tap water) up to
the proper level.
3. Start the engine and let it warm up for
several minutes.
4. Turn off the engine and check the coolant
level again.
NOTE:

Before checking the coolant level, wait a few
minutes until the coolant settles.

NOTE:
Install all removed parts in reversed order of
their removal. Note the following points.
lInstall the camshafts (exhaust and intake),
the timing chain and the camshaft caps.

lInstall the timing chain tensioner.
Refer to “CAMSHAFTS” section in the
CHAPTER 4.
NOTE:
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise sev-
eral turns so that the installed parts settle
into the right position.
lRecheck the valve clearance.
lIf the clearance is still incorrect, repeat all
the clearance adjustment steps until the
specified clearance is obtained.
