9.1.1. General precautions
¥
Maintenance operation should be carried out in a bright and clean place.
¥
Before disassembly, provide parts racks for storage of various tools and disassembled parts.
¥
Arrange the disassembled parts in the disassembly sequence and use care to prevent any
damage to them.
9.1.2. Cooling water
¥
Remove the radiator cap. Open the drain
plug at the radiator lower part to drain the
coolant as the right figure.
CAUTION : When removing radiator
filler cap while the engine is
still hot, cover the cap with a
rag, then turn it slowly to
release the internal steam
pressure This will prevent a
person from scalding with
hot steam spouted out from
the filler port.

Remove the drain plug from the cylinder
block and drain out the cooling water into a
container.
