DRAINING COOLANT

WARNING:
- Never remove the inverter cooling reservoir tank cap when the engine or inverter are hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from the inverter coolant reservoir tank.
- Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and turn cap a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing down and turning it all the way.

2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Select "INV WATER PUMP" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-III, then operate the inverter cooling system coolant pump while continuing to fill the inverter cooling reservoir tank. Keep the coolant level between MIN (B) and MAX (A).

CAUTION:
Do not allow the coolant level in the reservoir tank to get too low when filling to avoid air being drawn into the Inverter cooling system.
4. When no air bubbles can be seen in the inverter cooling reservoir tank, fill the tank until the coolant level reaches MAX.





5. Install the inverter cooling reservoir tank cap (1) and inspect the system for leaks.
