Procedure
- Remove the radiator cap and open the drain plug at the radiator lower part to drain the coolant.
- Loosen the coolant drain plug at the cylinder block left hand side behind oil filter to drain the coolant in the engine.
- Close or tighten the coolant drain plugs.
- Use clean water such as the city supply water as the coolant. Fill up the tank with the coolant until the level comes up to the filler port neck. Fill the coolant gradually to avoid air entry.
- After the coolant have filled up, operate the engine about five minutes in low idle speed, then the air contained in the coolant circuit is bled resulting lowered coolant level. Stop the engine to replenish it with the coolant.
