SPECIAL HOOKUPS
Special Hookup 1 ) It may be necessary to reverse the hoses during the coolant replacement
procedure on the next page for systems with a reverse-connected
thermostat. See note after Step 6 on next page for the symptoms of this
situation.
Special Hookup 2) Some cooling systems do not have a cap on the radiator. Instead, there is a
single cap on the overflow tank as shown in the illustration below.
The hoses to and from the overflow tank must be pinched using hose
pinching pliers during the coolant replacement procedure on the next page.
Failure to pinch these hoses will cause fluid to be forced out of the vented
cap on the overflow tank during the coolant replacement procedure.
