engine is hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool
down before removing the radiator cap.
Remove the radiator cap (1).
Pressure test the radiator cap.
Replace the radiator cap if it does not hold
pressure, or if relief pressure is too high or
too low.
It must hold the specified pressure for at
least six seconds.

Before installing the cap in the tester,
wet the sealing surface.
