s
Do not remove the radiator cap, drain bolts
and hoses specially when the engine and
the radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and
steam may be blown out under pressure,
wich could cause serious injury. When the
engine has cooled, place a thick rag like a
towel over the radiator cap, slowly rotate
the cap counterclockwise to detent. This
proceduce allows any residual pressure to
escape. When the hissing sound stops,
press down the cap while turning counter-
clockwise to remove it.
