B. Drain And Flush Radiator

(2000 Hour Intervals)

1. Level the vehicle, ground the

carriage, place the travel
select lever in (N) NEUTRAL,
move neutral lock lever to NEUTRAL LOCK position, engage the
parking brake switch and shut off the engine.

2. Unlock and open the rear radiator access door. Allow time for the

engine to cool down before proceeding. Draining and flushing the
engine cooling system while the engine is still hot can cause cracks
in the engine block.

3. Remove radiator cap and open the petcock (2) on the lower right

side of radiator (3).

WARNING:

DO NOT attempt this procedure when the

engine is hot. Wait for the engine, muffler and tailpipes to cool
down before proceeding. Failure to do so could result in severe
burns.

WARNING:

NEVER remove the radiator cap while the

engine is hot. The cooling system is under pressure. Hot coolant
can cause severe burns or eye injury. Wear protective clothing
and safety glasses.
