6.
Carefully remove radiator cap. Use a
shop rag over the cap when removing to
avoid injury in case there is still pressure.
7.
Place VCX Cone Adapter snugly into the
radiator spout. Do not force the Cone
Adapter into the spout, the suction
pressure from the VCX should secure it
adequately. Verify that the Cone Adapter
Valve is in the open position.
8. Start the engine once fluid starts to move
through the clear hose and into the VCX
Waste Coolant Tank. Verify that the
System Vacuum gauge reads at least 22
InHg.
9.
Once the waste coolant from the vehicle
stops flowing through the clear hose, turn
all of the panel valves to Home Position
and turn the engine off.
DO NOT REMOVE CONE ADAPTER FROM
THE RADIATOR!
WARNING Do not overfill the Waste Tank.
It may be necessary to pinch off the hose going
from the radiator neck to the overflow
container. This is only necessary when the
overflow line is below the sealing point created
by the Cone Adapter (see illustration). The hose
should be opened only after the Fill Radiator
procedure.
