Cooling System Filling

COOLING SYSTEM FILLING






WARNING: Make sure engine cooling system is cool before removing pressure cap or any hose. The cooling system is pressurized when hot. Severe personal injury may result from escaping hot coolant.

CAUTION: Do not use well water, or suspect water supply in cooling system. A 50/50 mixture of the recommended ethylene glycol and distilled water is recommended. For recommended coolant usage, .

NOTE: For cooling system capacity .

1. Close radiator draincock. Hand tighten only.
2. Remove the cooling system pressure cap. Install the Filling Aid Funnel, Tool 8195 (1).
3. Use the supplied clip to pinch the overflow hose that connects between the radiator and the coolant recovery container (2).

NOTE: While filling the cooling system, pour coolant into the larger section of the Filling Aid Funnel, Tool 8195 (1) (the smaller section is designed to allow air to escape).

4. Remove the clip from the overflow hose and remove the Filling Aid Funnel, Tool 8195 (1).
5. Install cooling system pressure cap.
6. Slowly fill the coolant recovery container to the FULL HOT mark with the recommended coolant. It may be necessary to add coolant to the recovery container (1) after one warm-up/cool down cycle in order to maintain the coolant level between the FULL HOT and ADD marks. This is due to the removal of trapped air from the system.

NOTE: Only add coolant when the engine is cold. Coolant level in a warm engine will be higher due to thermal expansion.
