Coolant, Draining
WARNING!
Stop the engine and let it cool before starting work on
the cooling system. Hot fluids and hot surfaces can
cause burns.
WARNING!
All coolant is hazardous and harmful to the environ-
ment. Do not consume. Coolant is flammable.
Drain the coolant via taps (F).
1 Remove the filling cap (1) from the expansion tank.
2 Connect a hose to each drain tap. Open the taps
and allow all the coolant to drain off into a suitable
vessel.
Check that all coolant really does drain out. Depos-
its may need to be cleared away, inside the drain
plug(s)/tap(s).
3 Also drain the heating system, tap water heater
etc., if connected to the engine’s freshwater sys-
tem.
4 Close all drain taps.

station for destruction.
