Coolant, Draining
Before draining, stop the engine and unscrew the
filler cap.
WARNING!
Do not open the coolant filler cap when the engine is
hot,
except in emergencies as this could cause serious
personal injury. Steam or hot fluid could spray out.
WARNING!
All coolant is hazardous and harmful to the
environment. Do not consume. Coolant is flammable.
There
is a drain plug (1) in the engine block, and a drain
nipple (2) under the radiator for draining coolant.
1 Put a suitable vessel underneath the drain plug
(1) and undo the plug.
Then put a suitable vessel underneath the
radiator and remove the protective cap from drain
nipple (2). Connect a suitable hose and drain off
the coolant.
2 Let the coolant run out.
NOTICE! There may be deposits inside the drain
plugs/taps; the deposits must be cleaned away.
Check that all coolant has indeed drained out.
3 Screw the drain plug (1) back.
Remove the hose from the drain nipple (2) and
put its protective cap back on.
