DRAINING COOLING SYSTEM

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE CYLINDER BLOCK DRAIN PLUGS, COOLANT PRESSURE BOTTLE CAP, OR THE RADIATOR DRAIN PLUG, WHEN THE SYSTEM IS HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM THE COOLANT CAN OCCUR.

When servicing the cooling system, it is essential that coolant does not drip onto the accessory drive belt and/or pulleys. Shield the belt with shop towels before working on the cooling system. If coolant contacts the belt or pulley, flush both with clean water.





1. Remove radiator drain plug located at the lower left side of radiator.
2. Remove coolant pressure bottle cap.
3. Remove the cylinder block drain plug(s) located behind each exhaust manifold.
