Inspection

INFOID:0000000009444791

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES

Check hoses for the following:

• Improper attachment

• Leaks

• Cracks

• Damage

• Loose connections

• Chafing

• Deterioration

CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL 

• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the

MAX (A) to MIN (B) range when the engine is cool.

• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.

CAUTION:

Refill the engine cooling system with the specified coolant or

equivalent. Refer to 

MA-11, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure

engine coolant escaping from the radiator. 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 pushing it down

and turning it all the way.

CAUTION:

• Perform this step when the engine is cold.

• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.

To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using suit-

able tool (A) and Tool (B).

Draining Engine Coolant

INFOID:0000000009444792

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure

engine coolant escaping from the radiator. 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 pushing it down

and turning it all the way.
1. Remove front under cover. Refer to
