Turning the radiator pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and
scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly.
With the coolant recovery tank, you will almost
never have to add coolant at the radiator.
Never turn the radiator pressure cap
--
even
a
little
--
when the engine and radiator are hot.
Add
coolant mixture
at
the recovery
tank,
but
be
careful
not
to
spill
it.
You
can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don’t spill coolant
on
a hot engine.

Pressure
Cap
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is
a
15
psi
(105
kPa)
pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to
prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage
from
overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap
line
up
with the overflow tube
on
the radiator
filler neck.
