STEP 3 CONTINUED

 

 
3.3     Per figure 3.3, route the open end of the 

hoses toward the front of the engine where the 3/8” 
NPT nipples were installed in step 1.2

 

 
3.4     Connect the hoses to the nipples with hose 

clamps provided, see fig. 3.4.  

 
3.5     Cut hose to length and install to heater with 

hose clamps provided.  

 
3.6      Cut and splice the in-line shut-off valve into 

the supply line (which comes from the top of the 
thermostat housing),  in a suitable location like the 
one shown in figure 3.6. Attach using two (2) hose 
clamps. Confirm the valve is all the way open. 

NOTE:

 The in-line shut-off valve quickly converts 

the heater into a summer time blower by preventing 
hot water from flowing to the heater core. 

 
3.7    Secure hoses with wire tires as necessary 

to prevent rubbing against hot or moving engine 
components. Wire tie the return hose to the air 
cleaner bracket so it does not kink under its own 
weight.  

 
3.8    Using manufacturer’s recommended proce-

dure, refill the cooling system.
