SECTION 303-03: Engine Cooling
GENERAL PROCEDURES

Cooling System Draining, Filling and Bleeding

Special Tool(s)

Draining

WARNING: Never remove the pressure relief cap while the engine is operating or when the cooling system is hot. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in damage to the cooling system or engine or personal injury. To avoid having scalding hot coolant or steam blow out of the degas bottle 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. Step back while
the pressure is released from the cooling system. When you are sure all the pressure has been released, (still with a cloth) turn and remove the pressure
relief cap.
CAUTION: The coolant must be recovered in a suitable, clean container for reuse. If the coolant is contaminated it must be recycled or disposed of
correctly.
CAUTION: Care must be taken to ensure the accessory drive belt does not become contaminated with engine coolant.
1. Release the pressure in the cooling system by slowly turning the pressure relief cap one half turn counterclockwise. When the pressure is released, remove the
pressure relief cap.
2. NOTE: Approximately four liters will drain from the radiator.
Place a suitable container below the radiator draincock. If equipped, disconnect the coolant return hose at the oil cooler.
Close the radiator draincock when finished.
