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 rotate the radiator cap coun-
terclockwise toward the detent to allow any
residual pressure to escape. When the his-
sing sound has stopped, press down on the
radiator cap, while still pressing down turn it
counterclockwise, and then remove it.
The following procedure applies to all of the
coolant drain bolts and copper washers.
