INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Perform the following:
^ Adjust the shift cable.
^ Adjust the throttle cable.
^ Refill the engine with engine oil.
^ Refill the transaxle with fluid.
^ Refill the radiator with engine coolant.
^ Place the heater control knob on "HOT" position.
^ Bleed air from the cooling system.
- Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)
- Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
- Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
^ Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper assemble them, then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
^ Inspect for fuel leakage.
- After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
- Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
