I need to know how to check the coolant and fill the coolant? I looked at the tank but the coolant level indicators are on the front/back side of the tank instead of being on the side of the tank where I can see it. I also opened the coolant cap and looked inside but there was no coolant at the top underneath the cap when I removed it. I would appreciate your help.

Remove the radiator cap and fill it to the top. You usually have to use a flash light and hold it behind the tank to see the fill levels. That will help you to fill it up to the top mark. None of the manuals show a mark or level indicator. With engine at full operating temp it should be about half full
