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 75. 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. Remove the hood. See page 37.
2. Slowly remove the radiator 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 overflow 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.
