B. Radiator Cap
(1) General
A pressure valve is built into the radiator cap. It is designed to open at a pressure of approxi-
mately seven pounds per square inch.
(2) Removal
To remove, turn the cap to the left
(counterclockwise)
to the safety stop. When all pressure is re-
leased, press down on the cap and continue to turn until the cap is free to be removed.
WARNING: HOT STEAM AND FLUIDS WILL SEVERELY BURN! WHEN REMOV-
ING CAP FROM A VERY HOT RADIATOR, DO NOT TURN CAP PAST SAFETY
STOP UNTIL ALL PRESSURE OR STEAM HAS ESCAPED. USE PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL BEFORE ADDING COOLANT.
(3) Installation
When installing the cap be sure it is turned clockwise as far as it will go so that the pressure re-
taining valve will be functional.
C. Warm Weather Operation
During warm weather operation, if water is used in the cooling system instead of an antifreeze solu-
tion, keep the cooling system free of rust and sludge by adding a cooling system conditioner that is
compatible with aluminum. Instructions for use of the conditioner are printed on each can.
CAUTION: USE ONLY A CORROSION INHIBITOR THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH ALUMINUM. DO NOT
USE INHIBITORS LABELED AS “ACID NEUTRALIZER”.
D. Cold Weather Operation
(1) General
A permanent type,
(Ethylene Glycol)
antifreeze is recommended for use in the cooling system.
CAUTION:
(a) DO NOT USE “METHANOL” OR ALCOHOL AS AN ANTIFREEZE.
(b) DO NOT USE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTIFREEZE.MIXED SOLUTIONS (TWO TYPES)
MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IF THE COOLING SYSTEM HAS ADEQUATE PROTECTION
AGAINST FREEZING.
(2) Checking coolant solution
Check the solution frequently to be sure the cooling system has sufficient protection against freez-
ing.
NOTE:
When checking the solution, be sure the coolant is at operating temperature, and follow
manufacturer’s instructions on the tester.
