Installation

Install the other parts in reverse order of removal.

Perform the following :

•	Adjust a shift cable.

•	Refill engine with engine oil.

•	Refill a transaxle with fluid.

•	Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant.

•	Place a heater control knob on "HOT" position.

•	Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.

•	Inspect for fuel leakage.

–	After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.

–	Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

•	Bleed air from the cooling system.

–	Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)

–	Turn Off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
