FLUSHING RADIATOR
- Radiator Removed -

If there is oil in the cooling circuit, the
radiator and expansion tank must be
flushed and cleaned with "solvethane"**.

Procedures:

1. Remove expansion tank in addition
to radiator.

2. Pour in 2 liters of Solvethane.

3. Shake radiator and expansion tank
thoroughly and drain Solvethane
after oil has been dissolved.

4. Install the cleaned radiator and
expansion tank again, and connect
them on the cooling circuit.

5. Fill the entire cooling system with
hot water and flush thoroughly to
safely remove remainders of Solvethane,
repeating this step several
times as necessary.

6. Inspect the drained water for traces
of oil and, if necessary, repeat step 5.
Fill and bleed the cooling system*
after completion of the cleaning
procedures - see 17 00.

Note:
Solvethane attacks rubber seals, rubber
hose, etc... Consequently it must not get
into or remain in the cooling circult.
Always conform with safety precautions
for working with Solvethane (printed on
containers).
