HANDLING NOTES
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap, especially when
the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot
fluid and steam may be blown out under pres-
sure, which could cause a serious injury.
To open the radiator cap, remove the radiator
cover by removing the four screws. When the
engine has cooled, place a thick rag, like a
towel, over the radiator cap; slowly rotate the
cap counterclockwise to the detent. This proce-
dure allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped, press
down on the cap while turning counterclockwise
and remove it.
