Preparation
4.1.1. Set vehicle heater control to ‘On’ and/or ‘Hot’. (fig.2)
4.1.2. Drain and flush coolant system. (fig.3)
4.1.3. Inspect all coolant system components and repair/replace any unserviceable items.

fig. 3
4.1.5. Connect the gun to the air system, as described in Section 3.
4.2.
Suction Filling
4.2.1. Raise the container of coolant, level with the fill point. Insert the multi-fit rubber cone (on the gun) into the filler neck of the radiator (or header
tank, if fitted). Support the air line so that the gun is not pulled off centre.
NOTE: On some vehicles fitted with an overflow tank, it may be necessary to clamp the overflow hose. (fig.5)
4.2.2. Place the filler hose into the container of coolant. Ensure that the end of the hose remains submerged throughout the filling process.
4.2.3. Check that the tap on the gun is in the ‘Vac’ position (fig.6) and then press and lock (by turning slightly) the trigger. (fig.7)
NOTE: Hoses will collapse under the vacuum being generated - this is normal.
4.2.4 Allow the air to evacuate until the needle reads in the green. (fig.7)
