  1. Release the pressure in the cooling system by slowly turning the coolant recovery reservoir cap one half to one turn counterclockwise to the first stop on the filler neck. When the pressure has been released, remove the cap.

  3. Open the radiator draincock. If equipped, remove the cylinder drain plug to drain the coolant from the cylinder block.
  4. When the coolant is drained, make sure the drain plugs are installed and tightened.
  5. Close the radiator draincock when finished.
