have front wheels off the ground.
Fill the radiator until the coolant comes
out by the thermostat housing by-pass

then remove the hose pincher.
NOTE: If no coolant comes out by
the by-pass hose hole, squeeze the
lower radiator hose several times un-
til coolant comes out.

tions for leaks and check coolant level
