CAUTION: lf any engine coolant spills on painted por-tions of the body, rinse it off immediately.
NOTE:
. Check all cooling system hoses for damage, leaks ordeterioration and replace if necessary.. Check all hose clamps and retighten if necessary.. Use new O-rings when reassembling.

8. Mix the recommended antifreeze with an eoualamount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
o Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.. For best corrosion protection. the coolant con_centration must be maintained year_round at50% minimum. Coolant concentrations less than50% may not provide sufficient protectionagainst corrosion or freezing.. Coolant concentrations greater than 60010 willimpair cooling efficiency and are not recom_mended.
CAUTION:
. Do not mix difforont brands ofar ilreeze/coolants.. Do not use additional rust inhibiiors or anti_rustproduqt3; they may not be compatible with thecoolant.

9. Pour coolant into the radiator up to the base of thefiller neck. and install the radiator cap looselv.
Start the engine and let it run until it warms up (theradiator fan comes on at least twicer.
Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator.add coolant if needed.
Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run the engineagain and check for leaks.
