Flushing the Coolant System & Changing Coolant
CAUTION
Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. When
cool slowly rotate to the first stop and allow sufficient
time for excess pressure to escape before removing the
cap completely.
1. Stop the engine and let it cool down.
2. To drain the coolant, open the radiator drain plug and remove
radiator cap. The radiator cap must be removed to completely
drain the coolant.
3. After all coolant is drained, close the drain plug.
NOTE: Do not start engine without coolant.
4. Fill with clean water and cooling system cleaner.
5. Follow directions of the cleaner container.
6. After flushing, fill with clean water and anti-freeze until the
coolant level is just below the radiator cap.
NOTE: When the antifreeze is mixed with water, the antifreeze
mixing ratio must be 50-50. See the Antifreeze section.
7. Install the radiator cap securely. If the cap is loose or
improperly fitted, water may leak out and the engine
could overheat.
8. Fill with fresh water/antifreeze up to the “FULL” mark on the
recovery tank (Figure 22 on page 22).
9. Start and operate the engine for a few minutes.
10. Stop the engine and let cool.
11. Check coolant level of recovery tank and coolant if necessary.
12. Burp (remove air from) the coolant system as instructed in
the Burping (Removing Air From) the Coolant System section.
Antifreeze
WARNING
When using antifreeze, put on some protection such as
rubber gloves. (Antifreeze contains poison.) If you should
drink antifreeze, throw up at once and seek medical
attention. If antifreeze comes in contact with the skin or
clothing, wash it off immediately. Do not mix different
types of antifreeze. The mixture can produce a chemical
reaction between substances. Antifreeze is extremely
flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Keep
fire away from antifreeze. Keep children away from
antifreeze. When draining fluids from the engine, place
some container underneath the engine body. Do not
pour waste onto the grounds, down a drain or into any
water source. Also, observe the relevant environmental
protection regulations when disposing of antifreeze.
If it freezes, coolant can damage the cylinders and radiator. If the
ambient temperature falls below 0° C (32° F) or before a long-
term storage, let out coolant completely, or mix fresh water with
long-life coolant and fill the radiator and recovery tank with
the mixture.
1. Long-life coolant comes in several types. Use an ethylene
glycol (EG) type for this engine.
2. Before employing long-life coolant-mixed cooling water, fill
the radiator with fresh water and empty it again.
3. Repeat this procedure two or three times to clean up
the inside.
4. Mix the long-life coolant.
5. The procedure for the mixing of water and antifreeze differs
according to the make of the antifreeze and the ambient
temperature. Refer to SEA J1034 standard, more specifically
also to SAE J814c.
6. Add the long-life coolant.
7. If there is a mixture leak, add long-life coolant from the same
manufacturer and type in the same mixture percentage.
NOTE: Never mix long-life coolant from different manufacturers.
(Different brands may have different additive components, and
the engine may fail to perform as specified.)
8. When the long-life coolant is mixed, do not employ any
radiator cleaning agent. The long-life coolant contains
anticorrosive agent. If mixed with the cleaning agent, sludge
may build up, adversely affecting the engine parts.
