Procedure D
PROCEDURE D - "Filling and Bleeding the Cooling System"
WARNING:
FOLLOW ALL SHOP SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS WHEN WORKING ON OR
AROUND HOT COOLING SYSTEMS. Failure to follow safety procedures could result in damage to the cooling system, engine and/or
personal injury.
^
Avoid hot coolant or steam blowout from radiator when adding coolant to the system.
^
Never, under any conditions, remove the radiator cap while the engine is running.
^
Use extreme care when removing the radiator cap from a hot cooling system. When possible, wait until the engine is cool before removing the
radiator cap.
-
Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap and turn it slowly to the first stop.
-
Step back while pressure is released from the cooling system.
-
After the pressure is released, use the cloth to press down, turn and remove the cap.
1.
Close radiator drain cock.
2.
Fill the cooling system with 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water.

Allow several minutes for trapped air to escape (bubble out) and for the coolant mixture to flow through the radiator.
NOTE:
When filling a cross-flow radiator allow time for coolant to flow through radiator tubes to the other end tank to ensure radiator is full.
3.
Install radiator cap to the pressure relief position.
