MotorVac COOLANTCLEAN-1000 - Manual (Page 13)

5.
TO DO A “COMPLETE” FLUID EVACUATION AND REFILL
:
use small hose to release pressure from cap if necessary, attach cone adapter to the service
hose, remove the radiator cap, insert cone adapter into radiator fill neck, activate vacuum long
enough to empty the upper radiator tank. Turn off the pump and release the vacuum in the
radiator by moving the cone adapter. At this time disconnect the upper radiator hose from the
engine (thermostat end). Install a hose “pinch” clamp on the upper radiator hose. (NOTE: the
hose with clamp should still be clamped to the upper radiator fitting). Hold the cone snugly in
radiator fill neck, turn on vacuum and pump until no more fluid is going into the waste tank.
Vehicle coolant system is now empty and engine repairs can be done if needed.
6.
TO REFILL AFTER A “COMPLETE” EVACUATION: Reattach the vehicles upper radiator hose to
the engine. (remove the hose “pinch” clamp) HOLD THE CONE adapter in place. Reapply
vacuum to system. Adjust valves to “hold” after maximum vacuum is achieved. Reset the valves
to “FILL-CLEAN” for new fluid or “FILL-USED” to replace used fluid. Vacuum in the system will
pull the fluid from the selected tank. To ‘top-off’ loosen the cone adapter in the radiator neck and
turn on the air valve to activate the pump. BE PREPARED TO STOP THE PUMP WHEN THE
RADIATOR IS FULL! Note: When using the adapter with the shutoff valve, the pump in the
CoolantClean 1000 will shut off if it’s pumping against pressure(valve closed) but will restart when
pressure is released(valve opened). Be sure to turn off air valve prior to removal of cone adapter
from radiator. TIP: Watch for when the upper radiator hose is no longer ‘collapsed’ and then top
off with the cone adapter “loose” in the radiator neck.

DO NOT MIX DEXCOOL & ETHYLENE
GLYCOL BASED FLUIDS!!! Gelling will occur!!
Flush vehicle and or CoolantClean 1000 with water
between usage of these fluids. If you are changing
the Dexcool in a vehicle to ethylene glycol, flush the
vehicle with water prior to introducing the ethylene
glycol.
