Changing Coolant In Cooling
System
Capacity of cooling system is approximately 6 quarts
(5.7 L). The cooling system must be filled with a 50/50
solution of water and permanent ethylene glycol
anti–freeze. Every two years, drain the coolant from the
radiator by opening the drain cock (Fig. 41). After coolant
is drained, flush the entire system and refill it with a 50/50
solution of water and anti–freeze.

When filling the radiator, level of coolant must be above
the core and 1 inch (25 mm) below bottom of filler neck.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Always install radiator cap (Fig. 42)
securely.

Level of coolant in expansion tank (Fig. 43) should be
between the marks on side of tank.

Servicing the Engine Belts
Check tension of all belts initially after the first day of
operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
Alternator Belt
1. Unlatch and open hood.
2. Proper tension will allow 3/8 in. (10 mm) deflection
when a force of 10 lbs. is applied on the belt (Fig. 44)
midway between the pulleys.
3. If deflection is not 3/8 in. (10 mm), loosen alternator
mounting bolts. Increase or decrease alternator belt
tension and tighten bolts. Check deflection of belt
again to assure tension is correct.
