vertical radiators and side tanks, an Extension Tube Assembly (rigid 3/8”

O.D. with Cone) must be added to the extraction hose to remove coolant

(when applicable). Place Extension Tube Assembly into radiator or side

tank until it reaches the bottom. If tube does not reach bottom of the tank,

then slide Cone up or down until it reaches the bottom. (
