B. Drain And Flush Radiator
1. Level the vehicle, ground the carriage, place the travel select lever
in (N) NEUTRAL, move neutral lock lever to NEUTRAL LOCK
position, engage the parking brake switch and shut off the engine.
2. Unlock and open the right rear engine access door. Allow time for
the engine to cool down before proceeding. Draining and flushing
the engine cooling system while the engine is still hot can cause
cracks in the engine block.
3. Unlock and open rear radiator door. Remove radiator cap and open
petcock on the right side of radiator (Figure 77).
Figure 77
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt this procedure when the
engine is hot. Wait for the engine, muffler and tailpipes to cool
down before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in severe
burns.
WARNING:
NEVER remove the radiator cap while the
engine is hot. The cooling system is under pressure. Hot coolant
can cause severe burns or eye injury. Wear protective clothing
and safety glasses.
