12. Fill reservoir tank up to ªMAXº level, and re-install radiator cap.
13. Run the engine at approximately 2,000 rpm for about one
minute.
14. Stop engine and cool it down, then refill the radiator and the
reservoir tank up to the specified level.
Checking Cooling System
CHECKING HOSES
Check hoses for proper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap by means of a cap tester to see if it
is satisfactory.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
78-98kPa
(0.78 - 1.0 bar, 0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system by means of a tester to check
for leakage.
Testing pressure:
98 kPa (0.98 bar, 1.0 kg/cm
2, 14 psi)
CAUTION:
Higher than the specified pressure may cause radiator dam-
age.
Checking and Replacing fuel filter and Draining
Water
Be careful not to spill fuel in engine compartment. Place a rag
to absorb fuel.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
1. Remove fuel filter sensor and drain fuel.

2. Remove fuel filter, using a suitable tool.
3. Wipe clean fuel filter mounting surface on fuel filter bracket and
smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
4. Screw fuel filter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
and additional more than 2/3 turn.
5. Install fuel filter sensor to new filter.
6. Bleed air from fuel line.
Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.
7. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start drain-
ing. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it excessively.
If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
2. Bleed air.
Refer to section EC for fuel system bleeding instructions.
Cleaning and Replacing Air Cleaner Filter (Dry
paper type)
Clean or replace element more often under dusty driving condi-
tions.

Checking Idle Speed
Preparation
1. Make sure that injection timing is correct.
2. Make sure that injection nozzle are in good condition.
3. Make sure that the following parts are in good condition.
IAir cleaner clogging
IGlow system
IEngine oil and coolant levels
IValve clearance
IAir intake system (Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
4. Set shift lever in ªNeutralº position. Engage parking brake and
lock both front and rear wheels with wheel chocks.
5. Turn off air conditioner, lights and accessories.
IWarm up engine until water temperature indicator points to middle of gauge.
ILights, heater fan and all accessories are off.
IAttach tachometer's pick-up to No. 1 fuel injection tube.
In order to take accurate reading of engine rpm, remove clamps that secure No. 1 fuel injection tube.
Start engine.

Run engine at about 2,000 rpm for
about 2 minutes under no-load.
Run engine for one minute at idle
speed.F
Check idle speed.

END
IRace engine two or three times and allow engine to return to idle speed. If idle speed is not within
the specified range, check acceleration linkage for binding and correct it if necessary.

CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap (side with pressure valve) with cap
tester to see if it is satisfactory.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
78-98kPa
(0.78 - 0.98 bar, 0.8 - 1.0 kg/cm
2, 11 - 14 psi)
Pull the negative-pressure valve to open it. Check that it closes
completely when released.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
Apply pressure to the cooling system with cap tester to check for
leakage.
Testing pressure:
98 kPa (0.98 bar, 1.0 kg/cm
2, 14 psi)
CAUTION:
Use of higher pressure than the specified value may cause
damage to radiator.
Checking and Replacing Fuel Filter and
Draining Water
Be careful not to spill fuel in engine compartment. Place a rag
to absorb fuel.
CHECKING FUEL FILTER
Check fuel filter for fuel leakage, damage and other abnormal
signs.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
1. Disconnect harness connector and drain fuel.
2. Remove fuel filter using band-type filter wrench.
3. Remove fuel filter and fuel filter sensor.
CAUTION:
Remove fuel filter without spilling fuel. If spilt, wipe off imme-
diately. Be specially careful not to spill fuel on engine mount
insulator.
