Clean, repair, tighten, andreplace the components as necessary.Checking the Concentration of theCoolantService Interval: Every 1,000 hoursTest the concentration of ethylene glycol based antifreeze inthe coolant . Ensure that the coolant is a mixture of 50%ethylene glycol and 50% water.Cleaning the Cooling SystemService Interval: Every 2,000 hours/Every 2 years(whichever comes first)The coolant capacity of the engine and the radiator: 18.5L (19.5 US qt).Draining the Coolant from the SystemImportant: Do not pour coolant onto the ground or intoan unapproved container that can leak.1. Remove the left and right side panels; refer toRemoving the Side Panels (page 46).2. Remove the 2 hex-head bolts that secure the reservoirdoor to the hood and open the door (Figure 103).3.
