Procedure

1. 4. CHECK AND MAINTENANCE
2. [1]
3. DAILY CHECK POINTS
4. Checking Engine Oil Level
5. 1. Level the engine.
6. 2. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick (1), wipe it clean,
7. reinsert it, and draw it out again.
8. Check to see that the oil level lies between the two notches.
9. 3. If the level is too low, add new oil to the specified level.
10. IMPORTANT
11. Q
12. • When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from the
13. previous, drain old oil. Never mix two different types of oil.
14. NOTE
15. Q
16. • Be sure to inspect the engine, locating it on a horizontal
17. place. If placed on gradients, accurately, oil quantity may
18. not be measured.
19. • Be sure to keep the oil level between upper and lower limits
20. of the dipstick. Too much oil may cause a drop in output or
21. excessive blow-by gas. On the closed breather type engine
22. in which mist is sucked through port, too much oil may
23. caused oil hammer. While too little oil, may seize the
24. engine’s rotating and sliding parts.

33. Checking and Replenish Coolant
34. 1. Without recovery tank :
35. Remove the radiator cap (1) and check to see that the coolant
36. level is just below the port.
37. With recovery tank (2) :
38. Check to see that the coolant level lies between FULL (A) and
39. LOW (B).
40. 2. If coolant level is too low, check the reason for decreasing
41. coolant.
42. (Case 1)
43. If coolant is decreasing by evaporation, replenish only fresh, soft
44. water.
45. (Case 2)
46. If coolant is decreasing by leak, replenish coolant of the same
47. manufacture and type in the specified mixture ratio (fresh, soft
48. water and L.L.C.). If the coolant brand cannot be identified, drain
49. out all of the remaining coolant and refill with a totally new brand
50. of coolant mix.
51. CAUTION
52. • Do not remove the radiator cap until coolant temperature is
53. below its boiling point. Then loosen the cap slightly to
54. relieve any excess pressure before removing the cap
55. completely.
56. IMPORTANT
57. Q
58. • During filling the coolant, air must be vented from the engine
59. coolant passages. The air vents by jiggling the radiator
60. upper and lower hoses.
61. • Be sure to close the radiator cap securely. If the cap is loose
62. or improperly closed, coolant may leak out and the engine
63. could overheat.
64. • Do not use an antifreeze and scale inhibitor at the same time.
65. • Never mix the different type or brand of L.L.C..

77. Changing Engine Oil
78. CAUTION
79. • Be sure to stop engine before changing engine oil.
80. 1. Start and warm up the engine for approx. 5 minutes.
81. 2. Place an oil pan underneath the engine.
82. 3. To drain the used oil, remove the drain plug (1) at the bottom of
83. the engine and drain the oil completely.
84. 4. Screw the drain plug (1).
85. 5. Fill new oil up to upper line on the dipstick (2).
86. IMPORTANT
87. Q
88. • When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from the
89. previous one, remove all of the old oil.
90. • Never mix two different types of oil.
91. • Engine oil should have properties of API classification CD/
92. CE/CF/CF-4/CG-4.
93. • Use the proper SAE Engine Oil according to ambient
94. temperature.

138. Replacing Oil Filter Cartridge
139. CAUTION
140. • Be sure to stop the engine before replacing filter cartridge.
141. 1. Remove the oil filter cartridge (1) with the filter wrench.
142. 2. Apply a slight coat of oil onto the new cartridge gasket.
143. 3. To install the new cartridge, screw it in by hand. Over tightening
144. may cause deformation of rubber gasket.
145. 4. After the new cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil
146. normally decrease a little. Thus see that the engine oil does not
147. leak through the seal and be sure to read the oil level on the
148. dipstick. Then, replenish the engine oil up to the specified level.
149. IMPORTANT
150. Q
