Cooling System Flush and Refill

WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scald-
ing fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if
cap is taken off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool:
Turn cap slowly to the left until it reaches a "stop" (Do not
press down while turning it).
Wait until pressure is relieved (indicated by a hissing sound)
then press down on cap and continue to turn it to the left.
2) With radiator cap removed, run engine until upper radiator
hose is hot (this shows that thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through system).
3) Stop engine and open radiator drain plug (1) to drain cool-
ant.
4) Close drain plug. Add water until system is filled and run
engine until upper radiator hose is hot again.
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 several times until drained liquid is
nearly colorless.
6) Drain system and then close radiator drain plug tightly.
7) Disconnect hose from water reservoir (1). Remove reservoir
and pour out any fluid. Scrub and clean inside of reservoir
with soap and water. Flush it well with clean water and drain.
Reinstall reservoir and hose.
8) Add 50/50 mixture of good quality ethylene glycol antifreeze
and water to radiator and reservoir.
Fill radiator to the base of radiator filler neck and reservoir to
"FULL" level mark (2). Reinstall reservoir cap setting the
arrow marks (4) on the reservoir and cap as the figure.
