Draining






DRAINING

When servicing the cooling system, it is essential that coolant does not drip onto the accessory drive belts and/or pulleys. Shield the belts with shop towels before working on the cooling system. If coolant contacts the belts or pulleys, flush both with clean water.

WARNING: Make sure engine cooling system is cool before servicing. Do not remove any clamps or hoses , pressure cap, or open the radiator draincock. When the system is hot and under pressure serious burns from coolant can occur.

1. Position a clean collecting container under draincock location.
2. Open radiator draincock located at the lower right side of radiator. Turn draincock counterclockwise until it stops.
3. Remove coolant pressure cap.
