ENGINE COOLANT

8. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3000
rpm.

Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
9. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).

Cool down using fan to reduce the time.

If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
10. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
11. Repeat steps 3 through 9 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
12. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
13. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.

Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
14. Repeat step 13 three times.
15. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 3 through 9 until engine coolant level no
longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank if removed, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If cylinder block water drain plugs are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-233, "
ASSEM-
BLY" .
2. Remove air duct assembly. Refer to EM-131, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
3. Disconnect heater hose (left side of vehicle) at the position in
the figure.

Enhance heater hose as high as possible.
4. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and install radiator cap.

When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater hose, connect heater hose, and continue filling the
engine coolant.
5. Install air duct assembly. Refer to EM-131, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
6. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
8. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
9. Drain water from the system. Refer to CO-34, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
10. Repeat steps 1 through 9 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.Radiator drain plug:
