12. COOLING SYSTEM                                                     DINK50/ 125



 COOLING SYSTEM TESTING

 RADIATOR CAP INSPECTION

 Removing the radiator cap while the
   engine is hot can cause the coolant to
   spray out, seriously scalding you.

   Always let the engine and radiator cool
   down before removing the radiator cap.


 Remove the radiator cap (1).

 Pressure test the radiator cap.
 Replace the radiator cap if it does not hold
 pressure, or if relief pressure is too high or   Cap Tester
 too low.
 It must hold the specified pressure for at
 least six seconds.
 Before installing the cap in the tester,
    wet the sealing surface.


 Radiator Cap Relief Pressure:                                 Radiator Cap
             90 kPa (0.9 kg/cm, 12.8 psi)

 Pressurize the radiator, engine and hoses,
 and check for leaks.
 Excessive pressure can damage the
    cooling system components.
    Do not exceed 105 kPa (1.05 kg/cm,                                 Cap Tester
    14.9 psi).

 Repair or replace components if the system
 will not hold the specified pressure for at
 least six seconds.
