CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture
of 56% water and 50% GOLDEN CRUISER
1200for the market where ambient tem-
perature falls lower than -16°C (3°F) in
winter and mixture of 70% water and
30% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200for the
market where ambient temperature doesn’t
fall lower than -16°C (3” F).
Even in a market where no freezing tempe-
rature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water
and 30% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200
should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.

coolant level reaches the filler throat of
radiator. Reinstall radiator cap.

WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not
touch exhaust system when system is hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be
performed when system is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the
car is raised for other service, check exhaust
system as follows:
l Check rubber mountings for damage, deterio-
ration, and out of position.
l Check exhaust system for leakage, loose
connections, dents, and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to
specification. Refer to below chart for torque
specification.
l Check nearby body areas for damaged, miss-
ing, or mispositioned parts, open seams,
holes, loose connections or’ other defects
which could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the car.
l Make sure that exhaust system components
have enough clearance from the underbody to
avoid overheating and possible damage to the
floor carpet.
l Any defects should be fixed at once.

Thermostat
1) Make sure that air bleed valve of thermostat
is clear. Should this valve be clogged, engine
would tend to overheat.
Fig. 6- 16
1. Air bleed valve
2) Check valve seat for some foreign matters
3) Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet
being stuck which prevent valve from
seating tight.
as follows:
Immerse thermostat in water, and heat
water gradually.
Check that valve starts to open at specifi-
cation temp.
If valve starts to open at a temperature
substantially below or above, thermostat
unit should be replaced with a new one.
Such a unit, if reused, will bring about
overcooling or overheating tendency.

Wheel repairs that use welding, heating, or peen-
ing are not approved. All damaged wheels should
be replaced.
[Tire demounting and mounting]
Use a ‘tire changing machine to mount or de-
mount tires. Follow the equipment manufac-
ture’s instructions. Do not use hand tools or tire
irons alone to change tires as they may damage
the tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire
brush or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants,
old rubber and light rust. Before mounting or
demounting a tire, the bead area should be
well lubricated with an approved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to 220kPa (32 psi) so
that beads are completely seated.
WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead
may break when bead snaps over rim’s
safety hump and cause serious personal
injury.
Do not exceed 240kPa (35 psi) pressure
when inflating. If 220kPa (32 psi) pressure
will not seat beads, deflate, re-lubricate and
reinflate. Over inflation may cause the bead
to break and cause serious personal injury.1
Inflate to specified pressure.
[Tire repair]
There are many different materials and techni-
ques on the market to repair tires. As not all of
these work on all types of tires, tire manufactu-
rers have published detailed instructions on how
and when to repair tires. These instructions can
be obtained from the tire manufacturer.
