Refilling

COOLING SYSTEM-REFILLING
(1) Tighten the radiator draincock and the cylinder block drain plug(s).
(2) Fill system using a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze. Fill the radiator to the top and install the radiator cap. Add sufficient coolant to the reserve/ overflow tank to raise the level to the FULL mark.
(3) Operate the engine with both the radiator cap and reserve/overflow tank cap in place. After the engine has reached the normal operating temperature, shut the engine off and allow it to cool.
(4) Add coolant to the reserve/overflow tank as necessary. Only add coolant when the engine is cold. Coolant level in a warm engine will be higher due to thermal expansion.
