1. Turn the radiator cap counter-
clockwise to remove it.
2. Loosen the radiator drain plug and
drain the coolant into a suitable
container.
3. With the plug loose, flush the sys-
tem with running water.
4. Drain the system completely and
retighten the drain plug. Add the
necessary amount of ethylene-gly-
col based coolant and water to
provide the required protection
against freezing and corrosion. In
extremely cold climates, add ethyl-
ene-glycol based coolant in accor-
dance with the instructions of the
manufacturer.
5. Run the engine at idle with the
radiator cap off. Slowly add addi-
tional coolant as necessary.
6. At this point, wait until the engine
reaches normal operating temper-
ature. Depress the accelerator two
or three times; then add coolant as
required. Be careful not to burn
yourself.
7. Reinstall the radiator cap. Inspect
all connections for leaks and
recheck the coolant level in the
reservoir. Recheck again after a
few days and add coolant as nec-
essary.

WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine and radiator
are hot. Scalding hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure. This could cause seri-
ous injury.
