4.15 RADIATOR _______________________________________________________________

!
To prevent serious bodily injury from hot coolant or
steam blow-out, never attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is running. Stop the engine and
wait until it is cool. Even then, use extreme care when
removing the cap.
!
Do not pour cold water into a hot radiator. Do not operate
engine without a proper coolant mixture. Install cap and
tighten securely.
Check coolant level daily. Radiator should be full and
recovery bottle should be up to the cold mark.
Drain and refill annually. Remove the radiator cap, open the
engine block drain and the radiator drain. Empty and clean
the recovery bottle.
