C. Close the vent valve.
D. Operate the engine for 5 minutes or until the
coolant temperature gauge in the instrument
cluster indicates 82°C (180°F), then stop the
engine.
CAUTION
The water is hot and can cause burns.
Stay away from the discharge end of the
coolant drain hose.
E. Open the drain valve

G. Close the drain valve.
Filling the System with Coolant
Important: Fill the cooling system properly to prevent
air locks in the cooling passages. Failing to vent the
cooling system properly can damage it.
Note: Use a mixture of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water
in the machine. The lowest ambient operating temperature
for this mixture is above -37°C (-34° F). If the ambient
temperature is lower, adjust the mixture. Use a mixture of
ethylene glycol and water in the machine all year.
1. Remove the radiator cap
2. Open the vent valve
3. Fill the cooling radiator with the specified coolant
mixture until the fluid level is up to the top of the filler
