3. Attach the BLACK Drain Hose from the CSC10R to the removed, open end of the UPPER radiator
hose by inserting its Step Adapter into the UPPER radiator hose. With a hose clamp, seal the UPPER
radiator hose tightly to the "best fit" step on the Step Adapter.
HINT: In some cases, the size difference between the UPPER
radiator hose and the Step Adapter may seem too large. It
is OK to tighten down the hose clamp to seal up to a 1/4"
gap. A "worm-gear" type clamp tightened with a nut
driver works best.
4. Attach the "best fit" Flexible Hose Adapter to the radiator's inlet
and secure it tightly using the supplied hose clamp. Be careful
not to damage the radiator's inlet.
5. Attach the GREEN Fill Hose from the CSC10R by inserting its
Step Adapter into the open end of the Flexible Hose Adapter.
With a hose clamp, seal the Flexible Hose Adapter tightly to the
"best fit" step on the Step Adapter.

CAUTION
Check and ensure that all hoses, rags, tools, or other objects
will be clear from moving parts of the vehicle.
ATTACH THE CSC10R TO THE VEHICLE - SPECIAL COOLING SYSTEMS:
HINT: Some vehicles with non-conventional cooling systems require a different procedure for
attaching the CSC10R. Some examples are:
Mid or rear engine vehicles with the radiator in the front of the vehicle
Radiators that do not allow access to the upper radiator hose.
Pressurized overflow systems where the overflow bottle is capped, not the radiator.
1. Loosen the hose clamp that holds the UPPER radiator hose to the thermostat housing on the engine.
Use a nut-driver, screwdriver, or hose clamp pliers (depending on the type of clamp) to loosen the
clamp.
2. Pull loose and remove the UPPER radiator hose from the vehicle's thermostat housing inlet. There
may be liquid in the hose - place a supply of rags under the hose to catch any spilled coolant. Be
careful not to damage the radiator hose while removing.
3. Attach the GREEN Fill Hose from the CSC10R to the removed, open end of the UPPER radiator
hose by inserting its Step Adapter into the UPPER radiator hose. With a hose clamp, seal the UPPER
radiator hose tightly to the "best fit" step on the Step Adapter.
