4. 10 ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
The engine cooling system fluid is a 50-50 mixture of
ethylene glycol and water for cold-weather protection.
To drain the cooling system; attach a hose to the drain
valve located at the engine block (Fig. 4.10A). Remove
the radiator cap. Turn the drain valve handle so that it’s
toward the valve outlet. To completely drain the radiator
remove the rubber drain plug located at the bottom of the
radiator (Fig. 4.10B). To fill the cooling system; close the
drain valve on the engine block (Fig. 4.10A) and refit the
radiator drain plug. Fill the radiator with a 50-50 mixture
of ethylene glycol and water. Refit the radiator cap.
