Connecting To The Coolant System - MAHLE MCX-1 Operation Manual

CONNECTING TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM

The MCX-1 can be connected to the cooling system in either of the configurations shown
below. The choice is dependent on the ease of accessibility to the hose connections.
1. Disconnect the radiator hose from either the engine or the radiator.
2. Select an Adapter Hose with the same inner diameter as the radiator hose and connect at
the point the radiator hose was disconnected using a clamp.
3. Install Step Adapters in the Adapter Hose and the radiator hose using clamps. Make sure
the outside diameter of the Step Adapters is the same as the inner diameter of the radiator
hose.
4. Connect the Green and Black hoses from the MCX-1 to the two Step Adapters as shown
in the following illustration. See next page for special hookups.
5.
Open the valves on the two Step Adapters.
