7. To check the operation of the thermostat, lower it on a string into a container with cold water and check that the thermostat is first closed. Heat the water and check that the thermostat starts to open at the temperature specified in Specifications. Continue heating the water and check the thermostat's full opening temperature and the valve's minimum stroke. When finished, allow the water to cool and check that the thermostat is completely closed. A faulty thermostat must be replaced.
8. The thermostat is installed in reverse order. When installing the thermostat into the cover, make sure that the ventilation hole is on top and replace the gasket with a new one. Fill the system with coolant (see section 6).
