System Draining
WARNING:
Do not open the radiator draincock with the system hot and under pressure. Serious burns from coolant can occur.
- Position a clean collecting container under draincock location.
- Without removing the pressure cap and with system not under pressure, turn draincock counterclockwise to open.
- The coolant reserve bottle should empty first, then remove the pressure cap.
- If coolant reserve bottle does not empty first:
- Check condition of the pressure cap and cap seals.
- Check for kinked/torn overflow hose from filler neck to reserve bottle.
- Allow cooling system to drain completely.
