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!
Note: In some cases it may be
necessary to pinch off the
hose going from the radiator
neck to the overflow
container. This is only
necessary when the vacuum
leaks through this hose. The
hose should be opened only
after the Fill Radiator
procedure.
WARNING
Do not overfill the Waste Tank.
