CAUTION
A sudden loss of pressure can cause hot coolant to boil and discharge
violently resulting in serious injury from burns. Allow the engine to cool down
before removing the coolant pressure cap.
IMPORTANT: When filling the coolant section after it has been completely
drained, the engine should be level or slightly lower at the flywheel end.
1. Remove the pressure cap from the coolant reservoir.
2. Fill the reservoir to the full mark with the recommended coolant solution.
3. When refilling the coolant section after it has been completely drained, fill
the reservoir to within 12 mm (0.50 in.) of the top of the reservoir neck
before starting the engine.
4. Replace the pressure cap.
NOTICE
Without sufficient cooling water, the engine, the water pump, and other
components will overheat and suffer damage. Provide a sufficient supply of
water to the water inlets during operation.
5. Supply cooling water to the engine.
6. With the engine running, check the hose connections, fittings, and
gaskets for leaks. Also observe the engine temperature gauge to ensure
that the engine operating temperature is normal. If the gauge indicates
excessive temperature, stop the engine immediately and determine the
cause.

CAUTION
A sudden loss of pressure can cause hot coolant to boil and discharge
violently resulting in serious injury from burns. Allow the engine to cool
down before removing the coolant pressure cap.
7. After the engine has cooled completely, recheck the coolant level and add
coolant, if necessary.
8. If the reservoir was completely emptied of coolant, a significant amount of
air remains in the cooling system. Refill the reservoir to the "FULL" mark,
repeat the warm‑up/cool‑down cycle, and check the coolant level again.
9. Maintain the coolant level in the reservoir at or near the "FULL" mark with
the engine cold.
