INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

When adding or replacing coolant,

use a high quality ethylene glycol

antifreeze and anticorrosion (Non-
Amine type) diluted with distilled
water. If the lowest ambient

temperature in your area is expected
to be -15°C (5°F) or above, make the

antifreeze concentration of the
mixture you use at least 30% but no
more than 50%. If -16°C (3°F) or
below, make the concentration at
least 50%. If the 50% concentration
does not provide adequate
protection against freezing, follow

the instructions on the antifreeze
container to obtain the desired
freezing point.

When putting the cap on the

reservoir tank, line up the arrow on

the cap and the arrow on the tank,

or coolant can leak out.

Coolant Replacement

1) When the engine is cool, remove the

radiator cap by turning it slowly to the left
until a "stop" is felt. Do not press down

while turning the cap. Wait until any
pressure is released, then press down on
the cap and continue turning it
anticlockwise.

It is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure. Watt
until the coolant temperature has
lowered before removing the cap.

2) Remove the reservoir tank cap. Remove

the reservoir by lifting it up, and drain the
reservoir completely by pouring the
coolant in to a suitable container.

3) Loosen the drain plug attached to the

lower part of the radiator and drain the
coolant into a suitable container.

4) Tighten the drain plug on the radiator, fill

the radiator with coolant and install the

radiator cap.

5) Refit the reservoir and fill it with the correct

coolant to the "FULL" line. Refit the
reservoir tank cap, ensuring the arrows are
correctly aligned.

CAUTION

The coolant must be replaced with the
vehicle on level ground.

Check that there is washer fluid in the tank.

Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality

windscreen washer fluid, diluted with water as
necessary.

Do not use "antifreeze" solution in the

windscreen washer reservoir.This can
severely impair visibility when sprayed
on the windscreen, and can also
damage your vehicle's paint.

CAUTION

Damage may result if the washer motor
is operated whilst the fluid or fluid
nozzles are frozen or with no fluid in

the washer tank.

If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there

will be greater intake resistance, resulting in
decreased power output and increased fuel
consumption.

Take out the air cleaner element after

unhooking the clamps shown in the illustration.
Blow off dust on air cleaner element by
compressed air. If the air cleaner element
appears to be dirty, replace it with a new one.
