4. Clean the oil cooler fitting face. This will allow the new
oil filter to seat properly.
5. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the filter O-ring.
6. Turn in the new oil filter until the filter O-ring is fitted
against the sealing face.
7. Use the filter wrench to turn in the filter an additional
2/3 turns.
8. Check the engine oil level and replenish to the
specified level if required.

COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Level
Check the coolant level and replenish the radiator reserve
tank as necessary.
If the coolant level falls below the “MIN” line, carefully
check the cooling system for leakage. Then add enough
coolant to bring the level up to the “MAX” line.
Engine coolant Filling up procedure
1. Make sure that the engine is cool.
Warning:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature, be
sure not to loosen or remove the rediator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water.
To open the radiator cap, put a piece of thick cloth on
the cap and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the
pressure when the coolant has become cooler.
2. Open rediator cap pour coolant up to filler neck
3. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to “MAX” line
4. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After idling
for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen radiator
cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
5. After replenish the coolant tighten radiator cap, warm
up the engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater
adjustment to the highest temperature position, and let
the coolant circulate also into heater water system.
6. Check to see the thermometer, continuously idling 5
minutes and stop the engine.
7. When the engine has been cooled, check filler neck
for water level and replenish if required. Should
extreme shortage of coolant is found, check the
coolant system and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
8. Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX” line.

Engine Warm-Up
After completing the required maintenance procedures,
start the engine and allow it to idle until it is warm.
Check the following:
1. Engine idling speed.
2. Engine noise level.
3. Engine lubricating system and cooling system.
Carefully check for oil and coolant leakage.
4. Clutch engagement.
5. Transmission operation.
