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.
The following procedure applies to all of the
coolant drain bolts and copper washers.
6. Remove:

coolant drain bolts

ADJ
CAUTION:
NOTE:
Adding water instead of coolant lowers the
antifreeze content of the coolant. If water is
used instead of coolant check, and if nec-
essary, correct the antifreeze concentra-
tion of the coolant.

Use only distilled water. However, if dis-
tilled water is not available, soft water may
be used.

If coolant comes into contact with painted
surfaces, immediately wash them with wa-
ter.

Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
