Change Radiator Coolant
Drain, flush, and refill the cooling system as
follows:
1. Perform the Mandatory Safety Shutdown
Procedure on page 15. Allow the engine to
cool completely.
2. Loosen the radiator cap to release any system
pressure. Remove the cap after all pressure is
bled off.
WARNING

indicator every minute or two after changing
the coolant because air pockets may form. It
may be necessary to add coolant after a short
period of use due to air bleeding out of the
