Cooling System Fill & Bleed Procedure

CAUTION

Cooling system under pressure. Steam and hot liquids will cause burns to your skin. Never bleed the cooling system or remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot. Wear eye protection when servicing the cooling system.

NOTICE

Pressure cap rated at 13 psi (0.9 bar). Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly.

CAUTION

Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated area. Use the recommended 50/50 Extended-Life Antifreeze.

  1. Remove the side panels.

  2. Remove the hood.

  3. Loosen the radiator bleed screw 1.

    NOTICE

    Do not remove the radiator bleed screw.

  4. Remove the coolant pressure cap, and then add coolant to the FILL line until it begins to overflow from the radiator bleed port.

  5. Tighten the radiator bleed screw 1.

  6. Install the coolant pressure cap 2 and turn it to the half-locked position.

    IMPORTANT

    Do NOT turn the coolant cap to the fully locked position.

  7. Install the hood, and then connect the hood harness connector 4 to the main harness.

  8. Set the parking brake.

  9. Start the engine and let it run at a fast idle for several minutes until the indicated temperate on the gauge is 120 f (49 c).

    NOTICE

    To prevent activation of the extended engine idle shutoff feature, make sure to provide throttle lever input at least once every five minutes.

  10. Turn off the engine.

  11. Release the parking brake.

  12. Allow the cooling system to completely cool.

  13. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir. If necessary, remove the coolant cap and add coolant to bring the level to the FILL line.

    CAUTION

    Make sure the cooling system is completely cooled before you remove the coolant cap.

  14. Install the coolant pressure cap to the fully locked position.

  15. Install the side panels.

    IMPORTANT

    It’s common for air to purge after doing the cooling system bleed procedure. Advise the customer to check the coolant level after the first ride, and add coolant if necessary.
