Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Engine coolant contaminated with rust or scale 
reduces the cooling effect. Even when extended life 
engine coolant is properly mixed, the engine 
coolant gets contaminated as its ingredients 
deteriorate. Drain, flush and refill the cooling 
system with new coolant every 1000 hours or once 
a year, whichever comes first.
1. Allow engine and coolant to cool.
2. Remove the radiator cap (Figure 5-16, (1)).
3. Remove the drain plug or open the drain cock
(Figure 5-16, (2)) at the lower position of the 
radiator and drain the engine coolant.
A
WARNING
BURN HAZARD!
• Wait until the engine cools before you
drain the engine coolant. Hot engine 
coolant may splash and burn you.
• Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.

when you handle long life or extended

and wash immediately with clean 
water.

or moderate injury.

materials irresponsibly by dumping 
them into a sewer, on the ground, or
