The cooling system should always be bled after system repairs, i.e., hose 
replacement etc. Bleed screw is located above water pump (see manual). Slip 
a clear plastic hose over the screw with the other end submerged in container 
of coolant. With engine running, open screw after thermostat has opened and 
purge until no more air exits, close screw.
