| 1 - SPECIAL TOOL 8195 FILLING AID FUNNEL |
| 2 - PINCH OVERFLOW HOSE |
WARNING:
Make sure engine cooling system is cool before removing pressure cap or any hose. The cooling system is pressurized when hot. Severe personal injury may result from escaping hot coolant.
CAUTION:
Do not use well water, or suspect water supply in cooling system. A 50/50 mixture of the recommended ethylene glycol and distilled water is recommended. For recommended coolant usage,
(Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - FLUID TYPES)
.
NOTE:
For cooling system capacity, (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/SPECIFICATIONS - FLUID CAPACITIES)
.
- Close radiator draincock. Hand tighten only.
- Remove cooling system pressure cap. Install Special Tool 8195 Filling Aid Funnel (1). See Fig 1.

- Install cooling system pressure cap.
- Slowly fill the coolant recovery container to the FULL HOT mark with the recommended coolant. It may be necessary to add coolant to the recovery container after one warm-up/cool down cycle in order to maintain the coolant level between the FULL HOT and ADD marks. This is due to the removal of trapped air from the system.
