System Inspection
System InspectionWARNING:
^ Never remove the radiator cap when the engine and inverter are hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator.
^ Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing down and turning it all the way.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check hoses for the following:
^ Improper attachment
^ Leaks
^ Cracks
^ Damage
^ Loose connections
^ Chafing
^ Deterioration
CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL
^ Check if the reservoir tank coolant level is within MIN to MAX when the engine and inverter are cool.
^ Adjust coolant level if it is too much or too little.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system using Tool.
Tool number: EG17650301 (J-33984-A)
Testing pressure: 157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm2, 23 psi)
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine and inverter are hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
