FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
- Fill the radiator from the filler neck above the radiator upper hose and reservoir tank with clean water and reinstall the radiator filler cap.
- Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
- Rev the engine two or three times under no-load.
- Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
- Drain the water from the system. Refer to " «CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT»(ref-592018-S06646162382014010800000) ".
- Repeat steps 1 through 5 until clear water begins to drain from the radiator.
Scheme 72
| WARNING | Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by turning it all the way. |
Note. When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spilling.
