INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
.
>>A<< THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
Make absolutely sure that no oil adheres to the rubber ring 
of the thermostat. Also do not fold or scratch the rubber 
ring during installation.
Install the thermostat so that the jiggle valve is facing straight 
up. Be careful not to fold or scratch the rubber ring.
.
>>B<< RADIATOR LOWER HOSE CONNECTION
1. Insert each hose as far as the projection of the water inlet 
fitting.
2. Align the mating marks on the radiator hose and hose 
clamp, and then connect the radiator hose.

Thermostat Check
1. Immerse the thermostat in water, and heat the water while 
stirring. Check the thermostat valve opening temperature.
Standard value:
Valve opening temperature:
88 
 1.5C (190  3F)
2. Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value 
when the water is at the full-opening temperature.
NOTE: Measure the valve height when the thermostat is 
fully closed, and use this measurement to compare the 
valve height when the thermostat is fully open.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature:
100
C (212F)
Amount of valve lift:
9.0 mm (0.35 inch) or more
