WARNING
A hot radiator is under pressure. Therefore,
do not remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may
be blown out, which could cause serious in-
jury. When the engine has cooled, open the
radiator cap as follows:
Place a thick rag or a towel over the radiator
cap and slowly turn the radiator cap counter-
clockwise toward the detent to allow any re-
sidual pressure to escape. When the hissing
sound has stopped, press down on the radi-
ator cap and turn it counterclockwise to re-
move.
7. Remove:
• Coolant drain bolt "1"
(along with the copper washer)
TIP
Place a container under the engine, and then re-
move the coolant drain bolt. (Use a trough "2" or
a similar object as shown to prevent coolant
from spilling on the engine guard.)
