Engine Coolant
Bleeding the System
A brand new Mudd-Ox will not have a fully bleed cooling system. Meaning, there may be air bubbles that must be “driven” out of the system.
1. Drive the Mudd-Ox at operating temperature.
2. Let the engine completely cool down.
3. Remove the engine cover and locate the engine coolant reservoir. If the coolant level is low, fill accordingly (Figure-1, A).
4. Reinstall engine cover and repeat steps #1-3 until the coolant level no longer lowers.
5. Now the cooling system is bleed. Inside the engine compartment are (2) coolant ball valves. There is (1) per radiator. Simply twist the valves to
close (Figure-2, D).
Coolant Change
1. Ensure engine is completely cool. Remove engine cover.
2. Locate the lower radiator hose as shown on Figure-1, C.
3. Holding the hose onto the engine is a clamp. Loosen the clamp, and move it up the radiator hose out of the way.
4. Have an external 5 gallon bucket prepared. Once the radiator hose is removed, it alongside the engine will begin to quickly drain coolant.
Catch all the coolant inside the bucket. Do not let it drain into the Mudd-Ox body.
5. Once drained, reattach and clamp the radiator hose.
6. Locate the coolant fill reservoir and overflow tank (Figure-1, B, A). Refill with 50/50 glycol antifreeze mix.
7. Twist the coolant ball valves open (Figure-2, D).
8. Complete the Bleeding the System process steps #1-5.
