A hot radiator is under pressure. Therefore,
do not remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may
be blown out, which could cause serious in-
jury. When the engine has cooled, open the
radiator cap as follows:
Place a thick rag or a towel over the radiator
cap and slowly turn the radiator cap coun-
terclockwise toward the detent to allow any
residual pressure to escape. When the his-
sing sound has stopped, press down on the
radiator cap and turn it counterclockwise to
remove.
