INSTALLATION

Perform the following :
- Adjust the shift cable.
- Adjust the throttle cable.
- Refill an engine with engine oil.
- Refill a transaxle with fluid.
- Refill a radiator with engine coolant.
- Place the heater control knob on "HOT" position.
- Bleed air from 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 pressureizes.
- Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
