MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
Radiator Coolant Level
Always check and clean the screen and radiator fins at the intervals out-
lined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 52. Do not
obstruct or deflect air flow through the radiator by installing unautho-
rized accessories in front of the radiator or behind the cooling fan. Inter-
ference with the radiator air flow can lead to overheating and
consequentially, engine damage.
1. Lift the hood.
2. Slowly remove the radi-
ator cap.
3. View the coolant level
through the opening.
4. Use a funnel and slowly
add coolant as needed.
NOTE: This procedure is
required only if the
cooling system has
been drained for
maintenance and/or
repair. But if the over-
flow bottle has run
dry, the level in the
radiator should also
be inspected.
NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system
to function properly. See your dealer for the correct replacement part.
WARNING
Escaping steam can cause severe burns. Never remove the pressure cap
while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before
removing the pressure cap.
