radiator hoses. Before cutting the radiator hoses, be sure that the placement of Y’s will not interfere with any part of
the vehicle. Be sure the hose connected to the temperature control valve of the heater is connected to the top radiator
hose. Cut heater hoses to length. Before connecting the hoses to the Y connectors, take a garden hose and run water
through the heater hose and heater assembly, make sure the temperature control valve is fully open i.e. the max heat
position. This will help remove air from the system and stop air locks, this step must be carried out. Fit hose to Y fittings
and tighten clamps. Make sure all hoses are as far away as possible from driveshaft, steering shaft and sharp areas etc.
Use cable ties as necessary.
Refill cooling system as per manufacturer’s procedure. Start and run the vehicle at a fast idle and run up to normal
operating temperature. Check for leaks. Check heater operation. Allow vehicle to cool and recheck cooling system level
and coolant ratio, fill and/or alter coolant ratio as required. Refit front side wheel well panels.
If the heater fails to blow hot/warm air once the vehicle is up to operating temperature, there may be an air lock in the
heater unit. Temporarily block off the top/inlet radiator hose between the Y fitting and radiator. Start and run vehicle up
to operating temperature. Feel the outlet/lower hose from heater until it feels hot. The heater now should be blowing
hot/warm air. Remove clamp from radiator hose. The heater should continue to blow hot/warm air. This procedure may
have to be repeated a few times to remove air from system. Allow vehicle to cool, restart the vehicle and run up to
operating temperature, recheck heater operation. Please note heater output will be limited at idle, all testing should be
done at a fast idle.
