Cooling System Draining Procedure
WARNING!
Never remove the pressure relief cap, under any conditions, while the engine is operating or hot. Failure to fol-
low these instructions could result in personal injury or damage to the cooling system or engine. To avoid hav-
ing scalding hot coolant or steam blow out of the cooling system, use extreme care when removing the pressure
relief cap. Wait until the engine has cooled, then wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and turn it
slowly one turn (counterclockwise). Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When you
are certain all the pressure has been released, using a cloth turn and remove the pressure relief cap. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Perform the following procedure when draining the cooling system.
1. Do not remove the pressure cap first.
2. With the engine cold, remove the pressure cap.
3. Raise and support the vehicle and locate the radiator drain plug.
4. Attach one end of a hose to the drain plug (1). Put
the other end into a clean container. Open the
drain plug and drain the coolant from the radiator.
5. Tighten the radiator drain plug.
