Performing A Quick Change
Following these guidelines will allow a Quick Change on most vehicles. Due to the variety of
automobile and light truck coolant system designs, slight variations of this procedure may be necessary.
PREPARE FOR OPERATION
1. Pull the vehicle into the service area. Set the vehicle's heater controls to the highest temperature
setting and turn off the heater fan.
2. SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE and raise the hood.
3. Verify that the Fill Valve on the GREEN Fill Hose and the Drain Valve on the BLACK Drain Hose
of the CSC10R are both in the CLOSED position.

WARNING
Wear proper eye and skin protection such as safety glasses and gloves.
4. Determine the total cooling system capacity of the vehicle. Prepare a mixture of new or recycled
antifreeze and water equal to the system capacity. Pour the mixture into the Fill Bucket. Place the
lid on the Fill Bucket.
NOTE: Most engine manufacturers' recommend a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water.
Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent scale and mineral build-up.
5. Check the level in the Waste Coolant Drum in the rear of the CSC10R to verify that it is not too full
to hold another coolant change.
|
CAUTION:
Do not allow the Waste Coolant Drum to overflow. Immediately clean up any spills.
Damage to the vehicle and equipment can result from the corrosiveness of the coolant.
6. Wheel the CSC10R to the front of the vehicle and plug the electric cord into a 115 volt, 60 Hz
grounded receptacle. Use a 16 gauge (minimum) grounded extension cord if necessary.
NOTE: The CSC10R relies on gravity to fill the vehicle's cooling system. The TOP of the
vehicle's radiator must be LOWER than the BOTTOM of the Fill Bucket on the CSC10R
for the coolant change to occur.
