10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted)
at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then
open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling
system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into
the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening.
12. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specif ied level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to
warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM 1. Install reservoir tank if removed. Refer to CO-16, " Component " .
2. Install radiator drain plug. •If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-96, " Disassem-
bly and Assembly " .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-16, " Component " .
3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the cooling system.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.

Do not remove radiator cap when the engine is
hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from radiator. Wrap a thick cl oth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a
turn to release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
REMOVAL 1. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-11, " Changing Engine Coolant " .
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove air duct (inlet). Refer to EM-26, " Exploded View " .
3. Remove reservoir tank as follows:
a. Disconnect reservoir tank hose.
b. Release the tab (A) in the direction shown by the arrow ( ).
c. Lift up while removing the reservoir tank hose, and remove it.
4. Disconnect harness connector from fan motor, and move harness aside.
5. Disconnect A/T fluid cooler hoses if equipped. • Install plug to avoid leakage of A/T fluid if equipped.
6. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower).
7. Remove radiator core support cover.
8. Remove radiator core support (upper) bolts, bolts of stationary part on the radiator core support side and clip. Lift radiator
assembly (1) from radiator (upper) mount part of radiator core
support (upper) (2).
9. Move radiator assembly (1) to the rearward direction of vehicle, and then lift it upward to remove.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch A/C condenser if equipped and
radiator core when removing.
INSTALLATION Installation is the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or scratch A/C condenser if equipped and radiator core when removing.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION • Check for leaks of engine coolant. Refer to CO-11, " Inspection " .
• Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant and A/T fluid if equipped.
Refer to CO-11, " Inspection " and
AT-17, " Checking A/T Fluid " .
