Remove the Tool (A) and top off the cooling system with engine coolant as necessary.
Install the radiator cap and reservoir tank cap.
Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
CAUTION: Do not allow the engine to exceed normal operating temperature or engine damage may occur.

NOTE: Check that there are no leaks from the drain plug and heater core connections.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
When the engine is cold [approximately 50 deg. C (122 deg. F) or less], remove the reservoir cap and check the engine coolant level. If the level is low, fill with coolant again until it reaches the "MAX" line of the reservoir tank and repeat step 6.
CAUTION: Do not spill coolant on any electrical equipment (such as generator) during the operation as damage could result.
When coolant level stabilizes, fill with coolant up to the "MAX" line on the reservoir tank.
