3.8.2

Draining the Cooling System

The radiator contains a coolant drain valve to drain the

cooling system. When draining the coolant, remove the

radiator's pressure cap: this will allow the entire system

to drain and will prevent air pockets from forming and

restricting coolant passage to the block.

Note: Pay special attention to the coolant level. After

the coolant drains, allow time for complete refill of

the engine water jacket. Check the coolant level

as described earlier.

3.8.3

Filling the Cooling System

1. Close the radiator's coolant drain valve and tighten

the hose clamps.

Note: Do not add coolant to a hot engine. Adding

coolant to a hot engine can cause the

cylinder block or cylinder head to crack.

Wait until engine has cooled.

2. Fill the radiator with the recommended coolant

mixture of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% clean,

softened water to inhibit rust/corrosion and prevent

freezing.

Note: A coolant solution of 50% ethylene glycol

provides freezing protection to --37°C

(--34°F) and overheating protection to

129°C (265°F). A coolant solution with less

than 50% ethylene glycol may not provide

adequate

protection. A coolant solution with more

than 50% ethylene glycol can cause engine

or component damage. Do not use alcohol

or methanol antifreeze or mix them with the

specified coolant.

coolant specifications.

3. Replace the radiator's pressure cap.

4. Operate the engine until the thermostat opens and

the radiator upper hose becomes hot.

Consult the engine

5. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.

6. Remove the radiator's pressure cap.

7. Add coolant to the radiator to just below the

overflow tube on the filler neck.

8. Replace the radiator's pressure cap.

9. Maintain the coolant level in the coolant overflow

bottle between the High and Low markings.

Note: Periodically check the coolant level by

removing the radiator's pressure cap. Do

not rely solely on the level in the coolant

overflow bottle. Add fresh coolant until the

level is just below the overflow tube opening.

3.8.4

Flushing and Cleaning

For optimum protection, drain, flush, and refill the

cooling system at the interval listed in the service

schedule.

Flushing and Cleaning Procedure

1. Remove the pressure cap and open the radiator's

coolant drain valve and let the system drain

completely. Remove the pressure cap to simplify

draining.

2. Drain, clean, and flush the coolant overflow bottle.

3. Flush the system with clean water.

4. Close the radiator's coolant drain valve.

5. Fill the system with the recommended coolant.

6. Replace the pressure cap.

3.8.5

Pressure Cap

The cooling system utilize a pressure cap to raise the

boiling point of the coolant, enabling higher operating

temperatures. If the cap leaks, replace it with a cap of the

same rating. Find the pressure cap rating in Figure 3-7.
