Filling coolant in a system which has been drained
1 The engine should be stationary and the heater control set to
warm.
2 Coolant can be filled in the expansion tank (A) or from below
through the drain nipple (C).
3 When filling from below through the drain nipple, with a raised
container, the expansion tank cap should be removed for
bleeding air.
4 Bleed air from the cooling system through the breather nipples
(D), 3 pcs.
5 Fill with coolant up to maximum level in the expansion tank.
6 Test-drive the machine to remove all air from the cooling
system.

8 The level should be checked after the engine has been run
warm and then allowed to cool.

can cause cracking in the cylinder block and cylinder head.
Failure to change coolant will cause clogging of the cooling
system and the risk of the engine seizing.
