To control any odor from the Motorcraft(R) Engine Cooling System Cleaner VC-11/water mixture it is recommended to install a shop exhaust hose into
the lid of the tool kit bucket. See Figure 16.
45. EVERY half hour monitor the degas bottle for the correct level and measure the temperature in the tool kit bucket. DO NOT allow the
Motorcraft(R) Engine Cooling System Cleaner VC-11/water mixture to get below the COLD FILL LEVEL. If necessary, release cooling system
pressure by loosening the degas bottle cap slowly allowing air to escape and the degas bottle to fill to 1 inch (25 mm) above the COLD FILL
LEVEL.

be identified using an infrared thermometer or equivalent to monitor the mixture temperature in the flush tool kit bucket.
