7. Reinstall the reservoir, engaging the two lower

molded protrusions in the mounting holes of the

support bracket. Engage the top bracket around

the upper protrusion. Hold it in this position and

torque the screws to 7.3 N·m (65 in. lb.).

8. Reinstall the reservoir cap. Do not kink/pinch the

hose.

9. Flush the cooling system (see ''Flushing Cooling

System'').

Flushing Cooling System

With system properly drained:

1. Fill the cooling system with clean water and a

cooling system cleaner recommended for

aluminum engines. Follow the directions on the

container.

2. Reinstall and tighten the radiator cap.

3. Reinstall the upper blower housing assembly.

Secure with the retaining straps.

4. Start and run the engine for five minutes, or until it

reaches operating temperature. Stop the engine

and allow it to cool.

5. Remove the upper blower housing and drain the

cooling system (Refer to ''Draining Cooling

System'').

6. Fill the cooling system (see ''Filling Cooling

System'').

7. Reinstall the upper blower housing and screen

assembly.

Filling Cooling System

1. Check the condition of cooling system hoses,

clamps, and associated components. Replace as

required.

2. Mix equal parts of ethylene glycol anti-freeze and

distilled or deionized water (see ''Coolant

Recommendations'' on page 5). For extremely

cold temperature applications or protection

outside the limits listed in the ''Coolant

Recommendations'' Section, refer to the anti-

freeze manufacturers instructions on the

container, but do not exceed 70% anti-freeze.

3. Fill the radiator with the coolant mixture. Allow

coolant to drain into the lower areas. Fill the

overflow reservoir to a level between the ''Max.

Level'' and ''Min. Level'' marks. See Figure 10.

Reinstall the radiator and reservoir caps.

4. Reinstall the upper blower housing and screen

assembly. Start and run the engine for five

minutes. Stop the engine and cool.

5. Remove the blower housing and recheck coolant

level in reservoir. Coolant level should be between

the ''Max. Level'' and ''Min. Level'' marks. Add

coolant to reservoir if required. See Figure 10.

6. Reinstall the upper blower housing and screen

assembly. Secure with the retaining straps.

Service Precleaner and Air Cleaner Element

This engine is equipped with a replaceable, high

density paper air cleaner element surrounded by an

oiled foam precleaner, located under the upper blower

housing. See Figure 16.

Check the air cleaner and air intake screen daily or

before starting the engine. Check for a buildup of dirt

and debris around the air cleaner system. Keep these

areas clean. Also check for loose or damaged

components. Replace all bent or damaged air cleaner

components. Do not operate the engine without the

upper blower housing and screen assembly installed.

NOTE: Operating the engine with loose, damaged, or

missing air intake components can allow

unfiltered air into the engine, causing

premature wear and failure.
