Equator 4WD V6-4.0L (2010)
-
Use recommended coolant or equivalent. Refer to [Recommended Fluids and Lubricants].
Cooling system capacity (with reservoir) : Refer to [Recommended Fluids and Lubricants].
6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must be within specification.
Compressed air supply pressure : 549 - 824 kPa (5.6 - 8.4 kg/cm2, 80 - 120 psi)
CAUTION: The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.
7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly.
Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the
refill hose.
8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude locations, use the
vacuum specifications based on the altitude above sea level.
Altitude above sea level Vacuum gauge reading
0 - 100 m (328 ft)
: 28 inches of vacuum
300 m (984 ft)
: 27 inches of vacuum
500 m (1,641 ft)
: 26 inches of vacuum
1,000 m (3,281 ft)
: 24 - 25 inches of vacuum
9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds to see if the system loses any vacuum. If
the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck
for any leaks.
10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then open the ball valve on the refill hose so
the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.
CAUTION: Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into the cooling system.
11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening and install the radiator cap.
12. Remove the non-vented reservoir cap.
