MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Engine Cooling System

WARNING

Escaping steam can cause severe burns. Never remove the

pressure cap while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the

engine to cool before removing the pressure cap.

Radiator Coolant Level

NOTE: This procedure is required only if

the cooling system has been

drained for maintenance and/or

repair. However, if the recovery

bottle has run dry, the level in

the radiator should be inspected

and coolant added if necessary.

1. Remove the front panel to access the

radiator pressure cap (1). Remove

the cap.

2. If coolant is low, use a funnel and

slowly add coolant through the

radiator filler neck.

3. Reinstall the pressure cap and secure the front panel.
4. Fill the coolant recovery bottle to the upper mark on the bottle.
5. Check the coolant level in the bottle frequently, adding coolant as

needed until the level stabilizes.

NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the

recovery system to function properly. Contact your dealer for

the correct replacement part.
