6. Place a drain pan under the radiator drain port
(C) located underneath the left side of radiator.
7.

Install a 7/16” (11 mm) ID hose onto the drain
port and route the hose down to the drain pan.
8. Turn the radiator drain valve counterclockwise to
open and drain the coolant into the drain pan.
9. When all of the coolant has drained into the pan,
close the radiator drain valve. Leave the hose in
place.
10.
Add one can of radiator flush to the radiator and
fill the radiator with clean water.
11. Install the radiator cap, start the engine , and run
the engine until the engine reaches operating
temperature (160-180° F) (71-82° C).
12.
Shut off the engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
13.
WARNING
Hot coolant can cause severe burns. Allow the
temperature of the radiator to drop from hot to warm
before draining the coolant.
Carefully drain the cooling system while the
coolant is still warm.
14. Allow the engine and radiator to cool completely.
15.
CAUTION
Allow the engine and radiator to cool completely.
Engine damage could occur if cold water is added to
a hot engine.
Add clean water to the radiator and allow the
water to run through the system. Add more
water as needed, until the water is flowing from
the drain valve clear and free of sediment.
16. After the water has drained completely, close the
radiator drain valve and remove the drain hose.
17.
Attention
NOTE: residual water may be present in the
engine. Adjust the coolant mixture to achieve a
50/50 ratio.
Slowly add the proper coolant (refer to the
Engine Owner’s Manual for the correct type of
coolant) to the radiator until the level reaches
the bottom of the filler neck.
18. Install the radiator cap, start the engine, and run
until the engine reaches operating temperature
(160-180° F) (71-82° C).
19. Shut off the engine and allow the engine to cool.
20. Recheck the coolant level when the engine is
cold. Add additional coolant if necessary.
21. Close and secure the radiator access panel.
