Installation

Installation is in the 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.

•	Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.

•	Inspect for fuel leakage.

-	After assembling 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.

-	Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
