Clean the cooling system each time the coolant is changed. See the Lubrication and Service Chart in this manual for recommended change intervals. Clean the system as follows:
1.Remove the hose from to drain the coolant. Close the plug after the system is empty.
2.Install a good type of radiator cleaner and fill the system with clean water. Follow the instructions given with the radiator cleaner.
3.Remove the radiator cleaner solution. Flush the system with clean water.
4.Fill the cooling system with the coolant solution specified in this manual. Install coolant system treatment (If required). See Coolant Solutions in this manual for more information.
5.Check the hoses, radiator, pump and water manifold for leaks.
IMPORTANT: Never drain the coolant when the engine is hot.
NOTE: After the cooling system is completely filled, run the engine for approximately five minutes to remove all air from the system. Check the coolant level and add coolant if needed.
