Look in the vicinity of the top radiator hose connection on the engine for
either a small hex head bolt/screw. Set the heater to max, open it a couple
of turns until coolant comes out in a steady stream without bubbles. Close
the screw, top it off & idle the engine until the radiator fan comes on
twice (heater still at max) then open it again (VERY slowly) and let any
trapped air out.

For the next several days, check & top off the radiator & overflow tank
before the first start in the morning & it should get rid of all the air.
