6B-2 ENGINE COOLING
General Description
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses, water pump, cooling fan, and
thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
WARNING:
• Do not remove radiator cap to check engine coolant level; check coolant visually at the see-through
coolant reservoir.
Coolant should be added only to reservoir as necessary.
• As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the temperature can be considerably higher
than the boiling temperature of the solution in the radiator without causing the solution to boil.
Removal of the radiator cap while engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the solution to boil
instantaneously and possibly with explosive force, spewing the solution over engine, fenders and
person removing cap. If the solution contains flammable anti-freeze such as alcohol (not recom-
mended for use at any time), there is also the possibility of causing a serious fire.
