Pouring coolant
1 Make sure the drain cocks on the engine and
water pump are closed firmly.
2 Remove the cap from the water supply inlet of
the coolant tank, and pour undiluted LLC.
Note:(a) Determine the amounts of LLC and water
to be poured by using the LLC concentra-
tion chart.
(b) Regarding coolant, refer to "Coolant" (4-6).
3 Pour soft water with minimal impurities slowly to
the full level.
4 When coolant reaches the full level securely,
close the water supply inlet cap of the coolant
tank.
5 To release air from the water pump and coolant
pipes, pull the manual stop lever fully to the
STOP position and hold it in that position to keep
the fuel injection pump in no-injection condition,
then supply starting air and crank the engine for
about 10 seconds.
6 Wait for about 1 minute, then repeat the above
cranking operation twice to remove air from the
water pump.
7 Check the level gage on the coolant tank to make
sure there is sufficient coolant (surface level at
about the center of the level gage). If the coolant
level is low, add coolant.
8 Start the engine, and operate it under light load
until the thermostat opens the valve to allow soft
water and LLC to mix thoroughly.
9 Stop the engine, check the level gage on the
coolant tank again. If the coolant level is low, add
coolant (so that the surface level rises to about
the center of the level gage).
Note: Always add coolant having the same LLC con-
centration.
10 Check the pipe joint and other parts for coolant
leaks.
