Before you start

  • Place the machine on a level surface.
  • DO NOT remove the radiator cap while coolant is hot.

Procedure

  1. Remove the radiator cap after the engine has completely cooled, and check that coolant reaches the supply port.
  2. Check the coolant level of the reserve tank between FULL and LOW marks.
  3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add only 50/50 coolant up to the full level.
  4. Check the two drain plugs, one at the crankcase side and one at the lower part of the radiator.
