2. Ifthecoolant level istoolow,check thereason forthe
lost coolant.
a. If coolant loss is due to evaporation, add only clean
soft water.
b. If coolant loss is due to a leak, repair the leak, then
add a coolant mixture of the same type and specifi-
cationthat isin the system. If thecoolant brandcan-
not be identified, drain out all of the remaining cool-
ant and refill with a totally new mix.

4.1.6 Thermostat Opening Temperature
1. Suspend the thermostat in water by a string withone
end of the string inserted between the valve and its
seat.
2. Immerse the thermostat in water and raise the tem-
perature of the water gradually.
3. With a thermometer, read the temperature of the
water when the valve opens and leaves the string.
4. Continue heating the water, read the temperature of
the water when the valve has opened approximately
6mm (0.236 in).
5. Ifthemeasurementis not withinthefactoryspecifica-
