WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator/reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high
pressure fluid escaping from the radiator or reservoir. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push
down and turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by push-
ing down and turning it all the way.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for the following:
• Improper attachment
• Leaks
• Cracks
• Damage
• Loose connections
• Chafing
• Deterioration
CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL
• Check if the engine coolant reservoir tank level is within MIN to
MAX when the engine is cool.
• Adjust engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator/reservoir cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high
pressure coolant escaping from the radiator or reservoir.
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system at the
reservoir filler neck using suitable tool and Tool.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In case that engine coolant decreases, replenish cooling system with
engine coolant.
If any concerns are found, repair or replace damaged parts.
CHECKING RESERVOIR CAP
1. Inspect the reservoir cap.
• Replace the cap if the metal plunger cannot be seen around the edge of the black rubber gasket.
• Replace the cap if deposits of waxy residue or other foreign material are on the black rubber gasket or
the metal retainer.
NOTE:
Thoroughly wipe out the reservoir filler neck to remove any waxy residue or foreign material.
