(2) Selecting antifreeze.
a
Select a permanent type antifreeze known to be satisfactory for use with chromate corrosion
resistor.
b
When it is not known if the antifreeze is satisfactory for use with chromate resistor, check with
local engine manufacturer’s representative for a list of compatible antifreezes.
(3) Checking antifreeze solution
Check the solution with a reliable tester when in doubt about antifreeze protection.
d) Draining the Cooling System.
To completely empty the cooling system requires draining the engine block (if furnished) and the
radiator assembly. Both of the drain valves (radiator and block drain), can be
opened/closed at the
same time but they do not
need to be.
To drain the cooling system, proceed as follows:
(1) Remove radiator cap.
(2) Place a drain pan with at least a 40 quarts (28.4 liters) capacity under radiator to catch coolant.
(3) Place the radiator drain hose that comes off the two radiator drain valves, into the drain pans.
(4) Open the radiator drain valves.
(5) Allow the system to drain completely.
NOTE:
Be sure the drain valves do not clog during draining.
(6) When the system is completely drained, close the drain valves and replace engine drain plug.
e) Flushing the Cooling System.
Flushing the cooling system should be a yearly maintenance procedure. Flushing the system forces
clean water through the engine block to remove expired coolant and other contaminants.
f) Cleaning the Radiator Core.
Blow out accumulated dirt from the radiator core air passages, using water. Bent or clogged radiator
fins often cause engine overheating. When straightening bent fins, be careful not to damage the
tubes or to break the bond between fins and tubes.
NOTE:
Direct the water in a reverse direction to normal air flow. Normal flow on this installation is
from the engine compartment out ward.
