In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the transmission oil also lubricates the clutch), do not mix any chemical additives. Do not use oils with a diesel specification of “CD” or oils of a higher quality than specified. In addition, do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or higher. ● Make sure that no foreign material enters the transmission.

To check the coolant level 1. Place the vehicle on a level surface and hold it in an upright position. 2. Remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level in the radiator. WARNING! Never attempt to remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. [EWA10381]
●
The coolant level must be checked on a cold engine since the level varies with engine temperature. ● Make sure that the vehicle is positioned straight up when checking the coolant level. A slight tilt to the side can result in a false reading. TIP The coolant should be at the bottom of the radiator filler neck. The level will change with variation of engine temperature.
7. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking the transmission for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, immediately turn the engine off and check for the cause. 1. Correct coolant level
3. If the coolant is below this level, add coolant, and then install the radiator cap. NOTICE: If coolant
