Draining Cooling System

1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool sufficiently.

2. Unhook the four retaining straps, and remove the

upper blower housing and screen assembly. See

Figures 8 and 9.

3. Check if the radiator is cool to the touch. Slowly

loosen the radiator cap to the first stop and allow

any pressure to bleed off. Then fully loosen and

remove it.

6. Remove the reservoir cap. Carefully tip the

bracket away from the reservoir, and lift the

reservoir out between the bracket and fan. See

Figures 14 and 15. Pour out the contents of the

reservoir and wash out or clean as required.

Dispose of all the old coolant properly, according

to local regulations.

4. Locate and remove the coolant drain plug in the

lower side of both cylinder heads. See Figure 12.

Drain the coolant into a suitable container. After

the coolant has drained, apply pipe sealant with

Teflon

(not Teflon

tape) to the threads and

reinstall the plugs. Torque the plugs to 13.5 N·m

(120 in. lb.).

fit into corresponding holes in the support

brackets. Loosen the two screws that fasten the

upper bracket to the radiator. See Figure 13.
