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 thermostat housing's inlet and secure it tightly
using the supplied hose clamp.
5. Attach the BLACK Drain 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
Continuous monitoring of the Quick Change process is required. Leaving the vehicle
unattended while operating this equipment can result in damage to the engine, vehicle and/or
equipment.
1. OPEN the Fill Valve on the GREEN Fill Hose. The level in the Fill
Bucket will begin to drop, then stop. Keep the Drain Valve on the
Black Drain Hose closed at this time.
2. Start the engine of the vehicle.
3. OPEN the Drain valve on the Black Drain Hose. Watch the level in
the Fill Bucket. If the level does not drop, or stops dropping, CLOSE
the Drain Valve. After approximately 30 to 60 seconds, RE-OPEN
the Drain Valve. Repeat this procedure until two quarts remain in the
Fill Bucket.
NOTE: Opening and closing the Drain Valve as described will protect
vehicles with the thermostat located ahead of the water pump
("reverse flow" cooling systems). This procedure prevents the
old coolant from being pumped out of the engine block
prematurely when the new coolant is restricted by a closed
thermostat.
HINT:
The coolant change can occur only if the vehicle's thermostat is open. To help get the vehicle
up to normal operating temperature, it may be necessary to raise the rpm's of the engine to
warm it up before the level in the Fill Bucket will continue to drop.
