Draining Cooling System
WARNING:
DO NOT REMOVE THE CYLINDER BLOCK DRAIN PLUGS OR LOOSEN THE RADIATOR DRAINCOCK WITH SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE. SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
- DO NOT remove radiator cap first. With engine cold, raise vehicle on a hoist and locate radiator draincock.
- Attach one end of a hose to the draincock. Put the other end into a clean container. Open draincock and drain coolant from radiator. This will empty the coolant reserve/overflow tank. The coolant does not have to be removed from the tank unless the system is being refilled with a fresh mixture. When tank is empty, remove radiator cap and continue draining cooling system.
NOTE:
Radiator draincock is located on the left/lower side of radiator facing to rear of vehicle.
