Preparing for Installation
Preparation for installation is very important. Missing a step
or an item can cause problems in the installation or damage to
components.
☑
Check off each item as it is completed so that no steps are
missed.
☐
Review the contents of the system using the illustrated parts list to ensure all
components are present and in the correct quantity. If any components are
missing, have the system ID ready and call VMAC Technical Support.
☐
Disconnect both batteries.
Apply Loctite 242 (blue) to all fasteners (except nylon lock nuts)
unless otherwise stated.
☐
Raise the front of the vehicle and support the axle on axle stands (or
appropriate blocking).
Ensure the vehicle is supported safely with appropriately rated jack
stands.
☐
Drain the coolant from the primary radiator into a clean container for re-use
later. The drain can be found on the driver side of the radiator. Close the drain
spigot once the coolant has been drained.
☐
Cut a slit in the center of the hose to drain the remaining coolant (Figure 1).
