Vac-N-Fill Procedure

To avoid being burned, do not remove the

radiator cap or surge tank cap while the

engine is hot. The cooling system will release

scalding fluid and steam under pressure if

To prevent boiling of the coolant/water

mixture in the vehicle's cooling system, do

not apply vacuum to a cooling system above

49° C (120° F). The tool will not operate

properly when the coolant is boiling.
