ADDING ADDITIONAL COOLANT
WARNING: THE WARNING WORDS “DO NOT OPEN
HOT” ON THE PRESSURE CAP IS A SAFETY PRE-
CAUTION. WHEN HOT, PRESSURE BUILDS UP IN
COOLING SYSTEM. TO PREVENT SCALDING OR
INJURY, THE PRESSURE CAP SHOULD NOT BE
REMOVED WHILE THE SYSTEM IS HOT OR UNDER
PRESSURE.
CAUTION: Do not use well water, or suspect water
supply in cooling system. Use only a 50/50 mixture
of the specified ethylene glycol type antifreeze/cool-
ant and distilled water. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION).
When additional coolant is needed, it should be
added to the coolant pressure bottle.
For coolant service schedules (Refer to LUBRICA-
TION & MAINTENANCE/MAINTENANCE SCHED-
ULES - DESCRIPTION).
(1) Try squeezing the upper radiator hose to deter-
mine if the cooling system is still pressurized.
(2) Place a shop towel over the pressure cap and
turn to the first stop. Wait to see if any pressure is
released. When no pressure is released, press down
on the cap and turn to the second stop. Remove cap
(Fig. 4).
NOTE: If the coolant pressure bottle is completely
empty, (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE - STANDARD
PROCEDURE - FILLING COOLING SYSTEM).
(3) If there is some coolant in coolant pressure bot-
tle, slowly fill coolant pressure bottle.
Do Not overfill the coolant pressure bottle. With
the engine cold, the coolant level should be in the
COLD FILL RANGE on coolant pressure bottle (Fig.
3).
