Let the coolant cool down before removing the cap. In
any case, remove the cap very carefully. Loosen the
cap slowly to release the pressure and remove it.
Do not place sources of heat near pressurised fluid
tubes to prevent sudden failures.
Protect tubes and electrical wires with suitable guards
for welding.
