bleed valve before filling the surge
tank.
3.
Close any open coolant drain
valves in the lower engine coolant
pipe.
4. Remove the surge tank fill cap (1),
but DO NOT remove the surge
tank pressure cap (2).
5. Fill the system with premixed
coolant through the surge tank fill
port. Pour coolant at a steady rate
until it reaches the lower of the two
lines indicated by either "COLD
MIN" or "MIN" on the surge tank.
Wait for one minute after adding
coolant. If the coolant level drops,
add coolant until it returns to the
lower line.
6. Close the air bleed valve if opened
in Step 2.
7. Start the engine and maintain an
idle at a low rpm.
8. While the engine is idling air will
purge from the cooling system via
the surge tank's coolant fill port,
which will lower the coolant level in
the surge tank. Continue to fill the
surge tank until the coolant level
remains approximately 1/2 in. (13
mm) above the "MIN" line. This
may take up to 2 minutes,
depending on the outside
temperature.
9. Maintain a low idle until the
thermostat opens and the
operating temperature stabilizes. A
sign that the thermostat has
opened is when the upper coolant
pipe gets hot on the bottom side
indicating hot coolant is now
running through it.
10. Add coolant to the surge tank until
the coolant remains 1/2 in. (13 mm)
above the "COLD MIN" or "MIN"
level.
11. Operate the engine at high idle for
10 minutes. Afterward, add coolant
to the surge tank until the coolant
remains 1/2 in. (13 mm) above the
"COLD FULL" line.
12. Reinstall the surge tank fill cap (1).
